Why was the US sailor crying? This is what comes from raising children who are given, participation trophies, taught feelings count above all, and demand safe spaces where they are not offended. In WWII, soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy facing deadly enemy fire. Now our men cry when captured by a bunch of ragheads in a ski boat. Damn sissy!
I'm sorry, but are you attempting to compare an Iranian gov't issued press release vs. what some idiot thugs did in Iraq on their own?
What I'm saying is that people are people regardless. Some make bad decisions, some make good decisions. Some cry when they're **** scared, some don't.
The sooner we get over the us v. them bs, the better we're all going to be.
You know why asshats put out pictures like that? It's because dumbasses jump at the bait. If you ignore it and move along, it has no effect.
They also gave their highest military medal to all 6 of the "commanders" in charge during the process.
Funny thing is, military protocol is to fire upon an "unfriendly" rather than let them board you.
That means they HAD TO HAVE received a "Stand Down" order from someone pretty high up, and it had to come amazingly fast.
The military also has things called standing orders.
Letting soldiers practice free will is a very dangerous situation. That, and look at a little place we got running in Cuba if you want to talk about policy.

The social hands of time can be pushed back.
Give the CIA a little credit for meddling where we didn't belong with the 1953 coup.
