Per the Iranian videos, there was a fair amount of munitions on board. I'm just curious, how do two heavily armed USN Riverine boats get captured by IRGC modified fishing boats? Is there a limit to how big a boat we let them capture? Is there something in the rules of engagement that says you should surrender anything under a certain size? I'm not one itching for a fight, but this just seems a bit embarrassing...
I was thinking the same. The answer lies with that dude that gave a big speech last night. He's tied their hands to the point that I'm actually surprised that they still have those mounted machine guns.

This incident wasn't something to get in a gunfight over...especially if they actually had drifted over the line. Kudos to them for keeping cool and keeping an eye on the bigger picture. Going hot would've made this a much bigger deal.
They were temporarily detained and released.
The only embarrassing thing is running out of gas/breaking down and drifting into unfriendly territory.
Maybe she was diving the boat.
Well I imagine if a destroyer had gone adrift they might not let themselves get boarded...but if we aren't in the middle of open hostilities that's not even certain.
Emergency destruction of COMSEC ensues and hope the diplomats get your ass out of the sling...
So we had 2 boats adrift? I call bull$hit. They are hogtied by their CIC. He says that gitmo is a recruiting tool? He's a freaking disgrace, this is a recruiting tool...
Edit: No wonder Obumbo didn't mention this last night. Could it possibly be ANY more embarrassing?
