Anyone else sick of hearing about the 15 sailors with their excuses for being gutless cowards.?

Tony BinEye

I sure hope that these 15 sailors, and any others like them, are never all that stands beween us and our enemies!
But no need to worry! We DO have brave service people, and they are doing a great, if somewhat futile, job in both Afghanistan and Iraq. But for them, the world would be laughing at us and making the kind of jokes everyone used to make about the Italians during and after the last world war!

Just you watch ,they will be given medals at the first opportunity ,labour spin will make them heroes they have to convince us of this tocover for the inadequate support we give the true heroes without adequate boots arms and logistical support who are the real heroes of this country.

Yes.. Seems like the Iranians said BOO and they all cried for mommy. OK sir I will say whatever you want. If the WW2 generation under Churchill had acted like that we would all be blond haired blue eyed German citizens!!!

Common Sense

Yes. I would have told the Iranians to shove it and to cut my head off before admitting I was in their waters.

Goldenrae9

And you would have done it differently how? From your armchair I'm assuming...

oohtea!

I was sick of hearing about them as soon as i heard about them.

Yes, especially this woman who is now going to rake in the money for her so called story, I think that within a few months she will have resigned from the navy and begin appearing on chat shows, celebrity big brother, and possibly her own show on some cable televison channel.

crabboy didn't you know that's what it all about when you join the forces its do or die for your country//certainly some would have died but not with the air rifles our guys had aboard apparently so what else could they do but throw their hands up the whole episode was a c ock-up and who was responsible for sending them on a dangerous mission ill equipped should be brought to account

Barne-Hurst

As a British subject, ex RNR. They were in a difficult
situation, but they didn't have to look so happy when they
shook hands with the dictator and they should have refused
to accept the "goody bag" they were given. Their attitude
did nothing to bring credit to the Royal navy or their country!
And as for selling their story-------I am ashamed!

Yes I am like you, sick of them! They should thank Iran's presedent who saved & sent them back safely, & the should be a shamed of themselves & not looking other people & media in the eye.
What shameless faces they have!!!!

Crabboy4

You would rather they had died to fulfill your sense of military duty?

well...they are so young and navie...most probably a mouth for the govt justificiation for the war on Iraq and the probable attack on Iran

Redmonk is right--the iranians now know that they have nothing to fear from europe or its allies in europe--a brilliant exercise in "let's see what happen's when we do this...lets see who we have against us when we bring our nuke capability's online"--"wow, we only have america to worry about...all the rest are p--ussy's!" As for the sailors, marine's and that bint faye turney--they were doing their job, they volunteered to join the services, no-one co-erced them to join up, its part and parcel of their job--its all very well for people to have a go at the questioner, saying things like "you weren't there--you were sitting in front of the tv, so shut up" or "its all well and good for you to talk, sat in front of your computer, you know nothing of what its like to be on the front line"...WE dont have to be on the front line, these sailors and marines have to be at certain times, because that is part of what they joined to do--part of the hazardous job that they do--(which, by the way, they do very well)--nobody is taking that away from them, they were doing what they were supposed to be doing, and a good job they do too...its the money turney and the other guy got from the papers blabbing about it, THAT incenses people the most.

No, put yourself in their place, what would you have done? Probably S**T yourself.
Let them have their 15 minutes of fame.

steven e

yes,but they are brave heros,but i do think that selling a story to the tabloids was not a good idea.

martinf430

Gutless cowards? whatever u say idiot.i would like to see you or any of your american soldiers in the same situation.Infact didnt american apache pilots do the same when captured in the iraq invasion?? thats because when your not endangering OPSEC you do whatever u have to to stay alive.Royal marines are the best infantry soldiers on the planet because they use there brains as well as fight.

mr wrong

well i bet u whould be rambo and kik all there asses whouldnt u lucy lol. ''REDNEK''

I wonder how the questioner would have behaved in their situation, that is not to say he may be right about them but it's so easy to be critical when sat at a keyboard.
Would he, (or myself), have behaved differently? Only those unfortunate enough to have been in this position can really give an opinion.
That being said, the idea that these people are going to make money from their failure, and it was a failure, does leave a distinctly foul taste in the mouth.

dumplingmuffin

who blew your trumpet?they are young kids for gods sake,

nostradamus02012

is it me, or are the cons just completely unhinged that the britain-iran thing ended peacefully.

i would guess from this kind of talk that they really wish that we were in yet another war right now.

don't take this sort of nonsense talk seriously folks - it's just the ramblings of really strange cons saying what they would have done, you know, if they were men...

Our Man In Bananas

yes you are very brave aren't you insulting them from behind the aninymity of your Yahoo account.

Why don't you put on the uniform and serve your country in harms way?

Didin't think you would some how!

The simple fact i s they were OBEYING ORDERS and FOLLOWING standard peacetime protocol when detained by the forces of a foreign power.

And yes, I am sick of hearing about it from people like you who know nothing.

Happy to help you out.

Hooah! and I am sick of hearing all the liberal *** stupid questions about the debate of politics. I could have sworn the military questions section was to ask legitimate questions about the military and to help fellow service members out etc. how come that seems to be the complete opposite of the sections current goal and it seems that all people want to do is spew their filthy oral diarrhea? ....Shadow Stalker

EDIT.... To all of these people calling them brave etc them along with other people such as the lovely traitor PFC Lynch are a bunch of gutless traitors and should be hung and shot and than have their entrails pulled out and burned for treason. And before you judge me you do not know what I have done or where I have been so keep your mouth shut. And I promise you besides the training at SERE school I have had to face a similar situation. ........ Shadow Stalker

Since you were not there how about you keep your big mouth shut. It's so easy for people to give the opinion when they are sitting in the comfort of their home.
