They dont have the balls to use force on Iran, apparently, after seeing the soldiers submissively apologize to Iran, for the 2nd time.

No, they won't do anything meaningful that the Iranians will respect.
They won't even prosecute the frigate captain who let them be captured, or the sailors themselves for cowardice.
How can we excuse our troops for not putting up any fight whatsoever? Or for going on TV and saying anything that the Iranians tell them to say?
POWs in Vietnam withstood horrific torture for YEARS, and never allowed themselves to be used voluntarily for enemy propaganda. But just two days after her capture, some British sailor is wearing a headscarf on Iranian state TV, and just happily chirping to the camera, "Yup, we did it, we're wrong, and gee, they've been so nice to us."
Makes me sick. How the tables have turned -- now we've got Muslim captives in Guantanamo who understand honor and have never confessed to anything -- but Western troops can't withstand a couple of days of the most benign enemy custody before crying uncle.

It's not the troops fault,their hands are tied by their rules of engagement which is monitored by certain groups imposing "political correctness"This nightmare would have been over long ago if the "directive" was "go in and get the job done"without political correctness. Any way the allies in Iraq should all help out Britain and get rid of "im a dinner plate"

Isn't that what the whole international political process is anyway?
Probably not. I HOPE not, but I also hope Iran gives the dudes back.

is not a peaceful end to this good for everybody? a violent response could cause their heads to part company of their bodies. If we had been so clear headed 4 years ago there might not be 3,200 flag draped coffins.

They have fought hard in Afganistan and perform well in Iraq. Let's not think of the Brirts as cowards.
