I wouldn't call what they did as a Surrender I am sure if we stopped to Iranian Gun boats off block Island we wouldn't have just called Sea tow

But as for the Sailor in the interview not sure why he did it he may have ended his career if he made that call .. not saying he needed to stick to the name rank and serial number line

something maybe like yea we broke down and we have been treated well and thats it

Not at all.. you need to be at war to surrender this just allows the right to keep up how weak the US is story line .. they same line was used when we left Yemen "We’re surrendering around the world, we’re surrendering our embassy, and now we’re asking U.S. Marines to surrender their dignity, give up oaths that they made, creeds that they live by, and surrender their rifle,"

Real world Reality's need not apply .. what do you suppose they should have done ? shoot it out?

> do you think if we boarded an armed Iranian gun boat

We wouldn't want their hands up where we could see them..
for Our mens safety

I've seen surrender, hostage, hijack...

Perhaps people should revisit the idea that it looks like the Navy 'effed up and we violated their territory. It's shocking, shocking to see the Iranians detain them briefly to ensure they're not spies, give them what looked to be a nice meal and let them go.

Certainly this can only represent the insane weakness the USA currently projects.

Are we going to stand for this?

Take a bunch of words out of context and a bunch of ugly unflattering photos, and laugh at it. Sounds like the business model for MSNBC News.
