Daily Caller: Will The Pentagon Pursue Charges Against The Sailor Who Apologized To Iran?
One of the 10 sailors apprehended by Iran apologized to Iranian media for entering Iranian waters Wednesday, possibly violating military code of conduct regulations.
The sailor and his nine colleagues were taken and held by Iranian forces Tuesday after they accidentally entered Iranian waters Tuesday. The sailors were held overnight in Iran and released Wednesday. Video surfaced of the sailor apologizing for the the event on Iranian media on Twitter a few hours after the release.
“It was a mistake, that was our fault, and we apologize, for our mistake,” said the sailor. It is unclear based on the video whether or not the sailor was forced to say the statement under duress.

Learned it from his commander in chief !
Yes, you can not be that spineless and serve as a soldier.
Very true
The Impotent American Class and the 101st Keyboard Kommando's are busy ranting and frothing.
After "forcing" the IRGC Guards to leave their supper, and miss their Farsi dubbed reruns of Dynasty, in order to take their small patrol boats out into the gulf in the early evening,
To rescue a bunch of heavily armed Americans who had run out of gas and screwed up a "fail proof" navigation system, and drifted into their waters, the least they can do is apologize.
Fairly regularly, "burners" and Yahoo 4x4's bury themselves in the mud, blow up their gear or miss one of the turns and bury thier truck in the trees, then com stomping onto my porch looking for a phone, heat, a tow or a ride,
I personally appreciate an apology for their ruining my planned evening.

Better to be an impotent keyboard commando than a master of suppression techniques.
You know that the US Military is still looking for a few "good" men, (and women), right?
There is still time for you to put down the cheeto's, quit playing the FPSG's, leave your momma's basement, loose 90 lbs through diet and exercise, and Volenteer, right?
You should try it, the real world can be very engaging.
No he shouldnt what would his refusal to do what hes told acheive apart from delaying and complicating their release.
Nothing to do with him being spineless hes probably got more guts and integrity than most on this forum myself included.
Jeez its not like he shot down a airbus

A lot of bravado these days Jay.
Say hi to your mamma, phill.
I think usa was testing iran! Imagine alot of them badass boats,subs,and planes etc storming iran in a freak storm. Just imagine! Them soldiers had blood in there eyes before!
It's called diplomacy. Just cause a guy wears a uniform doesn't mean he can't encourage peaceful outcomes. Saying sorry for screwing up and getting caught is what you should do. Unless of course you are a fan of total war, then by all means advocate for a policy of rudeness and obtuseness. No need for diplomacy if you just want an excuse to shoot people.
