Our boys we're treated much less harshly than in Iranian captive would've been by us. I think cuffing and blindfolding isn't much compared to systematic physical and sexual abuse.

medicinal~ are you sure you're an American ?
Damn sure. 5 generations that I know of. Just because I disagree with the present government, does not make me less of a patriot, in fact more so I'd have to say. I've always been pretty much anti-establishment, but this present regime really makes me puke. Bring back the real America and I'll sing it's praises, but this Neoconistic right wing excuse for a government will get no respect from me. Sometime read H.D. Thoreau. Then you'll know my perspective on government. Government is supposed to be controlled by the people, not the other way around, and throw in the corporations (which the founding fathers could not forsee) and the lobbiests which are really running this government, and you have this mess we call government now, Pathetic.Quote:

When you see videos of the captives playing ping pong and sitting around joking and laughing, kind of makes you wonder if it wasn't the British Government that was putting the spin on the captives treatment. It certainly looked to me like it wasn't staged, And, how many times have we released hostages and given them gift bags, LOL, Not once. I'd bet they were told to give a negative accounting of their captivity or they'd be punished for admitting they were in Iranian waters.Quote:

Looks like it's the British government losing credibility this time. In fact Iran probably planned it this way, to treat the captives just fine then let the British spin it, then release the videotapes of big-screen television soccer matches. Maybe people shouldn't be so quick to believe the propoganda trying to convince us that Iran is the nation of pure evil out to kill us all.Quote:

It's dreadful that our sailors and marines were put through such an ordeal. But under the correct government, the British armed forces should be protecting one country, and that is Britain herself, and nobody else. We are not the worlds police force. It is not our responsibility to end the worlds conflicts.
WHAT DO YOU THING WOULD HAPPEN IF AN IRANIAN WAR-SHIP WAS FOUND TO BE IN OR EVEN NEAR OUR (us uk etc) WATERS.. SAME DAMN THING. DUH
