The News from Great Britain that the 15 sailors and Royal Marines who surrender rather than attempt to defend their mission is very upsetting and revealing.
These 15 are an absolute perfect example of what happens to a "Mommy Generation" of people wearing the "jaunty" uniforms of too many Countries today. Not only did these "15" surrender but they allowed themselves to be paraded on Iranian television giving thanks for their release by the henchman of the Ayatollah, clutching "goody bags like children on an Easter egg hunt not angry captives who were abducted on the high seas illegally.
Now these "cowards" are selling their stories to the print and video networks for as much as 150,000 pounds as if they were heroes.
Regretfully, a soldier who looses an arm or leg in Iraq will only receive 57,000 lbs. from the compensation fund of the British Department of Defense.
The shameful part of this whole disgrace is the Ministry of Defense and Royal Navy have publicly agreed to allow these military "vanquised 15" to sell their stories. Their explanation is ridiculous in the use of the comparison to the unusual circumstances that they said were similar to those who are awarded the Victoria Cross for Valor. Excuse me! I don't see any comparison with a hero and a group that surrenders without firing a shot.The Heros are those that gave their lives for freedom not those that have surrendered.
Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with Jihadists.
And pray that we can defeat the enemy without counting on people who wear the uniform but, talk the talk, but can't walk the walk!
