The ten U.S. sailors who were seized by Iranian gun boats when they drifted into Iranian territorial waters have been released without incident. It appears that one of the boats suffered from some type of mechanical failure, and negotiations for the sailors release were quickly accomplished. It helped that the Farsi Island location at which the boats were found drifting was neither a strategic location, nor a sensitive location for communications or other military activities.
A video has surfaced wherein one of the sailors appears to be apologizing for the accidental incursion, which could complicate things for the sailors.

I thought they were trained to acquiesce to their captors demands, to protect the crews from being tortured or further detained. It worked for Jane Fonda.
He might have been forced. I guess he did it just to get out of the situation. Don’t blame him blame KERRY and the other one. Those people are savages and won’t hesitate to kill whoever don’t follow their orders. LEAVE THE SOLDIER ALONE!!!!
Joe Biden said you didn’t do it.
You’re 100% right.
People want to hold him up for public flogging while as a young man he probably did what he thought was best in order to keep themselves from being an international chess game for years. That being said we now know the Obama administration led the Iranians to them. Why?! There is more to this story and if anyone needs major blasting once again…it should be our traitor president instead of some young navy man being used as diversion and a scapegoat.
No service member would make a statement like that without being directed to do so unless the service member were a liberal Democrat. In that case selling out your country is simply a matter of course.
Is that they are making this soldier a scapegoat ?
He deserves them for not following the code of conduct. Period
Charge Kerry for kissing iranian’s “ash” when he THANK them! Kerry wasn’t in any danger, the SOLDIER was!
Obamas will probably invite him to the White House. They can practice bowing together.
