a senior american comander in the gulf has said his men would have fired on the iranian republican guard rather than let theselves be taken captive and expressed suprise that british marines and sailors had not been more agressive

is this yet another example of america's distructive approach to international relations or have 'our boys' let the side down...?

The British have always been the smarter people when talking about West.

Or perhaps a stupid mistake by the Brits for possilbly going into Iranian waters.....or a stupid ploy by Iran to try and affect the U.N. vote for sanctions against them! But no, wait.....everything wrong in the world is to blame on America......sorry, I forgot!

No my friend. The Brits have shown decency. Let us just accept that.

More importantly they showed smartness . Firing Iranians at their territory would not be a wise move . I really respect their brains these British ... no really! ... they are smart people.

Standards have slipped then. In days gone by nobody would have been captured in the first place. Well maybe some of the Navy boys would have been but the Marines - no freakin way

I really can't be @rsed with the Gung Ho attitude.
Iraq - coalition casualties so far
3500 dead
23500 wounded
Iraqi casualties - nobody really cares

Tomorrow three coaltion troops will be dead that were alive today.

Sorry Razz - I was being flippant to make a point.
Iraqi civilian casualties estimates vary from 50 - 500 000.
Refugees - reported 2 million in Jordan alone.
The war is becoming so passe that they dont even bother reporting half the stuff.

The Brits acted within the rules of engagement. The Yanks as usual make up the rules as they are going along or choose to disregard them.
What would the Brits have gained had they fought back?........an early grave.

I presume you refer to the events leading up to 2 April 82 rather than those leading up to 25 April. If so this is rather different than the situation in Iraq/Iran IMHO.

Hell I would have fired. Nothing against the Brits though, great soldiers.

I'd just rather go out giving them all I've got rather than be caught.
