What a silly point of view.
Not sure I disagree with the premise. What happened to the standard reply of name, rank and serial number?
We’ll hear more soon enough. Did they threaten to torture the woman or others?
It does need answering.
The fact that this point of view is deemed "silly" by so many is part of the reason these soldiers were captured in the first place.
I don’t think so. These guys were all too willing to make Iran PR clips for their captors. Maybe that had something to do with their ROE but on the whole the Brits did themselves little good overall here.
Remember, their comrades are going to have to work extra hard to overcome the perception that they are weak in a part of the world where being weak is the worst thing imaginable in the eyes of the enemy.
I disagree. It didn’t take them long to show up on TV and the girl agreeing to wear that headscarf. They would have had to kill me before they could photograph me wearing it. What part of “resist the enemy” don’t those brits get. The U.S. military has a Code of Conduct and I would be ashamed of any member who did not do their best to resist.
