I still don’t consider that excusable. We were taught, in the Marines, that we give no info and your primary objective if captured is escape.....by any means possible. No where do I remember being taught to just sit there and “go along” with the captors.

What would’ve been a great thing to have come out of this is that (when I look at that picture of the British Sailor/Marine standing and chit-chatting face to face with Eichmann-dinejad) if that Sailor/Marine would’ve reached up and grabbed him by the sides of his head and just shoved both of his thunmbs into Little Eichmann’s eye sockets as hard as he could’ve.

I’m trying to figure out which guy in the whole group picture is the smiley (barf) guy in Post 16 picture. Any idea?

Those are soldiers? What a sorry-looking bunch of wimpy wusses! Agreed. What were they issued water guns??
Id be ashamed if I had been humiliated like that. And then standing in front of a map, apologizing. Whatever happen to just giving name, rank, and serial number??
The sun has official set on the British Empire. Oh, and that thumping youre hearing is Sir Winston spinning in his grave.
Shameful.

....I mean he was right freakin there! Didn’t the CIA use to spend years trying to get that close to someone?

The smiles really get to me, there is no way they can make them do that and frowning (or at least no grinning ear to ear) would not keep them captive.
Although I wasn't in their shoes so its easy to criticize.
Still, I like the dudes that look mad about it all.
Thats the right attitude imo.

You dont say anything else and you dont break....even if your govt isnt behind you. You should still have personal courage and moral grounds to fight back. Reminds me of the Italian who was executed after saying "I'll show you how an Italian dies" upon standing up.

That's an amazing picture. It strikes me as a microcosm of Britain right now. At least 60% are brainwashed leftist idiots. 40% are still sensible and patriotic.
God be with the 40%. May they illegally emmigrate to America as soon as possible (legal immigration is practically impossible for Europeans).

What it all boils down to is, why didnt the British mother ship blast the six iranian boats out of the water? That is what this story should be about!
I've been wondering about that myself....

Final, irrefutable and conclusive proof that the sun has set on the British Empire.

Most of us who have served in the military know exactly how we would react during such an ordeal. It’s all written in our Code of Conduct. I would not embarrass my country by wearing a scarf nor by smiling at any of my captors. I would make them explain why they killed me, and then where would their propaganda be?

I saw a couple of them boys on the right laughing and chumming it up with finger foods on the video. I think you are seeing only what you want to see.
