I couldn't find a thread on this subject yet.
I think you all know the headline by now. The sailors have been released, thankfully. However, I have to ask, how the hell did this happen?

From these Iranian state media pictures, it looks like we had two Riverine Command Boats (or similar) captured by a bunch of Iranian center console fishing boats??? I know the US media reports are the sailors had mechanical issues, but on both boats at the same time? What are the odds of that? Reports are we got the boats back and they continued on their missions with new crews, so the mechanical issues couldn’t have been that serious. And if they weren’t that serious, why in the world would two of our baddass boats surrender to lame little Iranian boats? What up with that?
Super glad we got our guys and gal back ok. I don’t envy them while they get “debriefed” about this situation.
