Reminds me of old pics of occupied France during WW2.

All the rather childish cavorting before the Al Jezeera cameras yesterday...giving noogies, etc...made me wonder about the caliber of Brit military personnel. I don’t recall Americans acting like trained seals for the benefit of our enemies’ propaganda when they were released from a far-longer captivity of 444 days during the Carter disaster.

Those are soldiers? What a sorry-looking bunch of wimpy wusses!

I can’t help but wonder if some of these sailors might become suicidal over the embarrassment. After arriving at home and having time to think about how they behaved.

I know that there are some really good and patriotic Britts who post here. I share your embarrassment. I fear that this day will come to America all too soon.

Kidding! I greatly respect and admire the men and women in the Navy.

Let’s see how you act after a couple of weeks as Nutjob’s guests.
If you look at the hands and the expressions on some of them, the hands seem to say “yah, whatever. just get me outta here”.
I think it’s very cruel of us, sitting in our homes with our families, to judge them. Very cruel.
OTOH, it’s looking more and more like Cheri wears the pants in the Blair family...but then I know nothing of diplomacy, other than the “get a gun and get em back” variety.

...can you say "Stockholm Syndrome?" Well, if you knew your government didn't have your back, how would you behave?
If I were them, I'd be looking to emigrate to Australia.

This may support the theory that all of the fighting genes have been killed out in the UK.
