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.

That when we go to war
Obama is behind this too.
I’m sure they were out numbered and a fight would have been futile and I’m sure they were ordered to stand down — but what I didn’t like was American Sailors apologizing to Iranians for doing their jobs
launching a couple of Hornets probably would have changed thing a bit,,,,
The$#%&!@*is going to hit the fan come summer. Hope everyone is read. Brush up on your Russian, Chinese , Persian and any other language you can. The government is going to hit us and hit us hard. Be ready. Our government has turned against us and are going to kill many of us. We have been sold down the river. Obama is not going anywhere anytime soon. There will be martial law and we will be like the other third world countries with dictators. Hope everyone is ready. And for all you liberals that helped this happen. I hope you all fry in hell.
I know all the liberals will reply all their same old b******t because because they love their leader.
Yes it is going to get really bad and many will die. But we the people will win and everyone that has had their hands in the attempted overthrow of this country will pay. They better me making arrangements with other countries to go too because they will not stay here. We will take our country back and rid it from all the low life’s that are against it.
The time is coming for all true Americans to stand up and come together and become one. It will be nasty but if we stand together as one we will win. Good luck God bless.
This is what Obama is doing to this country. He is allowing terrorists to enter and ordering the officials to stand down and let them enter ! This country is now infested with sleeper cells of terrorists ! This is the work of the Democrats , liberals and socialists. They want to destroy our economy, traditions , safety and security ! VOTE FOR TRUMP TO SAFE GUARD OUR COUNTRY FROM THESE TERRORISTS !
Well, that young man that ordered his crew to surrender certainly should be court-marshaled and then thrown out of the service after serving his sentence! He’s definitely showed cowardice in the face of the enemy and he’s now proven himself as unfit to lead men.
