Azazello1313 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 People go to listen to War Heroes / Medal of Honor recipients speak at conventions. yeah but their stories are usually a little different than "i got kidnapped and was treated reasonably well because i allowed myself to be used as a propaganda tool against my country" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 You said 'certain death', you don't know that. There rules of engagement must differ from ours, cuase the American officers I have heard couldn't believe the brits allowed this to happen to them. Well I heard they were surrounded very quickly and had no chance in a shootout. They didn't believe a standoff would work and used their judgement in how they acted. Britain has diplomatic relations with Iran and don't perceive them as the enemy as we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8tank Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Britain has diplomatic relations with Iran and don't perceive them as the enemy as we do. So capturing at gunpoint is 'diplomatic relations'? Yeah, whatever lulu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 BTW, the Brit MoD decision to allow this sale to the newspapers, etc has been rescinded after protests from ex-servicemen, relatives of dead servicemen and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
