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.

POSSIBLE…..!
NOT FAIR! Anyone should do what they feel is necessary to save their own lives and if that means saying your sorry with tongue in cheek then so be it.
They had a 2nd boat with all the same failures to include engine trouble? Even if the 2 navy boats were unable to move, the amount of firepower combined with “River Rats”, the sailors, going through USMC training and not one shot fired? No even a warning shot?
If we’re to believe that the 2 boats did not have coms, how did the Iranian Guard communicate? The sailors wouldn’t have (at least shouldn’t have) let them near enough to take over.
As a soldier, I can only assume the same thoughts for the sailors; fight or become a POW possibly worse. I’m very surprised no SOPs or ROEs were followed. Which makes it all more fishier.
Obama had them set up to make his Iran deal look good.
OBAMA OR NOT THE SOLDIER SHOULD BE RELIEVED AND CHARGES FILED AGAINST HIM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO SHOW THIS KID THE CODE OF CONDUCT.
