Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Easy for me to say, as I sit on my comfy couch at home, but if the integrity of ALL crew members will come thru, hopefully the correct account of the incident will come to surface.Originally Posted by sellersm
I don't think ANY official "story" from this administration has made sense, ever.

I like Bracken. Seems legit.
Things don't add up. I do have to wonder if Iran has something to confuse the GPS on our boats or disable the equipment. They took over a drone a couple of years ago and forced it to land there. Also, why are US troops just up and surrendering to approaching boats? Those .50 cals would have turned the fishing boats into a new spot for coral to grow. Even putting a few warning shots into the water would have made the Iranians think twice about going any further.
We were told to stand down.
No, no one said to stand down.
Yes they did, twice.
No, you are mistaken, no one would say that.
Well they did say that.
No, it was a video.

Is this outcome not better than war?
"There are no finger prints under water."
It is, but implying that war is the only other possible outcome is a huge assumption.
Perhaps another possble outcome to a situation like this would be our sailors defend themselves and their equipement, our government supports them and insists that they were attacked by Iran and then America demands an appology from THEM.

You are thinking too thin on this, think deeper. The images of U.S. sailors on their knees, hands on their heads, surrendering to the Iranians are very powerful tools of propaganda for our enemies and perspective enemies.

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
I suppose. If things keep going down that path, then one day some Iranians will be in for a disappointing shock when we stop laying down and forget to tell Iran about it.
