British Sailors and Marines - A Modern Odyssey ( Archived) (33)

It seems to me that the British Servicemen (and woman) give up far too easily and agreed with everything that Iran said. I have to take their statements that they acted under duress with a grain of salt. Now, back home, the story has changed: they thought they were going to be shot, etc. And then the whole thing looses any shred of credibility when they fall over each other trying to sell their stories to the media. Sad day for a once invincible empire,

It seems that "money making media" is not just an American tradition anymore. I'm sure somehow this too will be the fault of the American government... Whatever.

it usually is...

I must say that I have a different opinion and that I believe that my love for the world is stronger than the doubt that is delivered here.
I have a long line of ancestory in england , whales , Ireland. I have seen the media manipulate words, actions and it is not always with what they say, sometimes it is with what is not said.

How dare you judge people who have been through the mind games that they have at the hands of people who have manipulated the truth in an evil way before now many times.
If you know all the facts you would know that the story sold was so the money could be shared with the others. Not that I entirely agree with that, but it does not diminish what happened to them.
I wonder how many of us put in the situation they were would not doubt themselves and crumble.
Are you someone that also doubts such things as the houlocaust?

Hi, Siren,

You say: "people who have manipulated the truth in an evil way before now many times"

Who are you referring to???

please can i say something, im a british sailor and have 2 very food friends who were taking in iran, and personally know other members of that team, im taking great dissapointment in these comments, mostly from USA, why? after 9/11, the ship i am serving on now deployed to afghanistan, in support of the americans, there is british marines and sailors, soldiers dying every day out in iraq and afghanistan and iraq, and i dont think its a way to pay respect to them, we helped america, in iraq and afghanistan, so please dont be little our 15 who were captured, they never gave up easy, they were following rules of engagement, something the american tankbuster planes have yet to master, i am deeply upset now beacuse of these comments, as you can see in the my picture, i was doing board/search operations in the gulf, another 7 months spent away from family, britain and america should be proud of what we are doing there, i know i am!!
