Former Repiblican Representative Allen West of Florida is critizing the conduct of the 10 US sailors who were captured and quickly released by Iran yesterday, saying they should have resisted arrest.
Allen West rightfully highlighted the political fallout that comes from the imagery of detained and embarrassed US military personnel. Being a retired US Army lieutenant colonel gives some wisdom to the criticism that the personnel should have fought back, if only to prevent Iran from being able to make claims that Iran’s military force is unimpeachable and mighty (it isn’t).
West also criticized the conduct of the 10 detained sailors, saying they should have assumed a defensive posture and called in for help in order to prevent any incident or threat from developing into something dangerous, like a political loss of face being televised from Iran around the globe.

Yes
yep, I agree, but Obama sent the Iranians to get info on our ships, treason
F**k yeah !! i would let the .50 do the talking open up on those assholes and face court martial later. For sure it would of never gone to court.
I disagree. They would all be dead. They should not have fought them but once captured they should have only said their name rank and serial number. No apologies. Regardless, they followed their orders and they are alive and free now and that’s the most important thing right there. We’ll hear more to this story eventually.
Why so they could get killed? Makes no sense only 10 of them
It was all staged to show the world America is done as a country just like the white flags on the Brooklyn bridge it’s all staged death is next
I’m ex navy and I agree. Should have opened up on them and sunk their goat fucking assessment.
Article II of the Code of Conduct;
I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.
F**k yes!!! They should have never been captured!!! An American navy captain!!! Getting captured! Never happen!! This is some b******t, and a setup!!!
II. I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.
