So what do you think would happen to those captured U.K. forces captured if the U.K. conducted a military strike? What did the U.S. do when the USS Peublo and crew were captured? Think about it?

I have thought about it.

Those brave men would have likely died with their honor intact, and their enemies would be rightly burning in Hell.

How 'bout that?

This is not then. This is not the same mindset in an enemy.

TJ, LBJ was president when the Pueblo 'incident' occurred. The same president that tried to micromanage the war in Viet Nam. One week after the Pueblo, the Tet offensive began. Not sure, but we were heavily involved in Viet Nam and he probably didn't need a second front(giving him the benefit of the doubt.) The Brits probably haven't learned the lesson of letting the military do its job and the politicians stay the hell out of the way. What, it happened less than 48 hours ago, let's all give them time and stop the bickering. The thread is starting to look DU'ish.
