Look at the photo. As this ABC story notes, several of the Iranians playing the role of U.S. Navy sailors are overweight, so as to convey that the U.S. itself is flabby and ripe for the taking. The woman is heavily made up (whereas the woman who was actually captured was wearing no makeup), as if to suggest that American women are all sluts. (This was probably the first time a woman was walking around in public with her hair uncovered since 1979; even the real U.S. sailor was forced to wear a head covering while the Iranians had her in captivity. Of course, this “sailor” may be a man dressed as a woman, so as not to circumvent the head covering law.) And one of the “sailors” is holding a tissue up to his face — he is crying, you see: the Americans are weak.
This is the kind of portrayal that countries at war make of their enemies. But this is a war that only one side is fighting.
“Iran Mocks US Sailors in Revolution Day Parade,” by Justin Fishel, ABC News, February 11, 2016:
Marking the 37th anniversary of its Islamic revolution, Iran continued to publicly mock the 10 U.S. sailors its military forces detained in Iranian waters last month.
Groups of shackled Iranian men and at least one woman (many of them overweight) were paraded thought the streets of downtown Tehran as part of the celebration. Dressed in fatigues meant to depict those of U.S. sailors, the men had guns pointed at them while kneeling on the ground with their hands behind their heads. Others were tied together with bags over their heads.
Crowds gathered to watch the mock reenactment of the heavily propagandized Jan. 12 incident. Ten American sailors were detained for roughly 24 hours after their Riverine command boats strayed into Iranian waters near Farsi Island….

Iran may even use the recent ease of sanctions to help North Korea in their mutual goal…Contrary to some ‘expert’ analysis…both the recent North Korean nuclear and the Iranian ballistic missile tests are deadly serious threats to the United States…The danger to the United States is particularly consequential due to the close military cooperation of North Korea and Iran…Their combined capabilities…as demonstrated recently….could very well signal a future nuclear attack of the electromagnetic pulse type…for which the U.S….at the moment…is totally unprepared.
Is North Korea and Iran planning a major attack on the United States…are there People in Iran…Pakistan…China and Russia…complicit with helping them.

Now that’s funny. I’m sure they didn’t have any trouble finding fat Iranians to play the part.
The woman actually looks like a fat guy in drag, manboobs and all.
Christianblood says
I am wondering if the crying us soldiers and others in the US unit that was detained by Iran were “Transgendered” or “LGBT” US army members? Just curious.
MKG says
I doubt it. If that were the case the Iranians would have showcased it during the actual incident.
Christianblood says
How could the Iranians know if they were LGBT? They were not wearing their great rainbow colors like the one below: Watch:

MKG says
That’s my point Christianblood, I doubt the Iranians would know unless the sailor decided to have a loud and proud moment.
In any event the Iranians are doing a fine job at making asses of themselves. Between this and sinking a defenseless barge that looks like an aircraft carrier, what do they really have to celebrate? It’s quite pathetic.

Russia has a normal diplomatic relations with Iran but you keep ignoring the fact that America is in bed with the nations that are the real belly of the islamic Beast such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the genocidal Turks who, a few decades ago mass-murdered 2 million of their own Christian citizens. America is also backing and arming dozens of islamic barbaric jihadist groups such as ISIS, Al-nusra, Jaishal-islam, Aharar-al-sham, the Libyan jihadists that overthrew Qaddafi and many others. America is importing thousand of muslim from Syria, Somalia, Iraq etc while it is ignoring the plight of the persecuted Christians worldwide and it even imprisons the few Christians that fled from ISIS and came to America.

Christianblood,
I don’t see where people get off saying the sailor was crying. There’s a difference between extreme anguish and blubbering like a boy.
This sailor was clearly anxious but allowing the Iranians to claim he was crying?-that was a disgusting over exaggeration.
But on a humorous note, look how fat those Iranians are?
Do they sit around on welfare, because they are not only fat, they are flabby! Too funny!!
Ex-muslim says

In muslim societies being fat is acceptable and honorable thing but crying men are considered very dishonorable and a sign of great weakness or childishness.
chanah says
1 sailor where not crying but had tears running Down his cheek, could be he was thinking of his Family that he might not ever see them Again
Rob Porter says
Whatever the case, those U.S. sailors were pathetic. From what I saw the Iranian boats that captured the U.S. boats were smaller and with lighters weapons. So why didn’t the Americans fight? As to apologizing! If one boat was temporarily disabled why didn’t the good one tow the other? As to crying? Who brought up these males – their mothers? And who trained them? Who allowed them to carry cell phones and i-pads while in enemy territory and on duty?
If Hillary Clinton becomes president expect matters to get worse. Something is really wrong in America when such a disgusting woman can even consider running for office.
Patriotgirl1 says
Perfectly said Mr. Porter…my sentiments EXACTLY!!!!
MKG says
Look at the pictures Mr. Porter.
Our guys did not have their heavy weapons mounted. Take note of the empty gun mounts in the pictures. They were conducting a unit movement not a combat patrol.
The Irainian gun boats were armed with DsKA heavy machine guns. They fire a 12.7 x 108 mm round. The percussion from the impact of the bullet alone will cut you in half. The only thing our guys might have had ready to go would be a couple of M4s and M9s. I would say our guys were a bit out gunned.
As far as all the crying and appologizing goes, I have my theories like everyone else, but I am not going to judge them. We won’t know the details until after those sailors are completely repatriated, meaning a court of inquiry and maybe a courts martial.
Polk1970 says
Carter weakened the Military and Desert One (to rescue the American diplomatic hostages from Iran) crashed and burned in the Iranian desert.
Now,Obama has weakened the Military,but has imposed insand Rules of Engagement handcuffing our forces.

Nothing funny about making fun of American sailors. If we had a real leader like Trump they would never do such a disrespectful act. Iran and all Muslim will get there’s as soon as Trump is in office Isis ass will be kicked and they will be killed. Islam must be stopped and Trump will keep i tout of America!
MKG says
What is funny is their pathetic attempt to make fun of us. They are acting like a bunch of clowns.
But I am glad you feel this way. I encourage you to vote for Trump, join any armed service you like, and request to be transfered to a forward deployed unit. That way when Trump decides to go to war, you can get your skin in the game.
Until then, have a nice day.

Spot on, Wellington.
Our muslim “friends” are displaying the deplorable state of their emotional and overall mental maturity, and so the only ones they are really mocking with this is themselves.
But how anyone could think that it is possible to have any sort of meaningful diplomatic contact with people of such low psychological development is beyond me.
Rob Porter says
“But how anyone could think that it is possible to have any sort of meaningful diplomatic contact with people of such low psychological development is beyond me.” The answer that is that others with “low psychological development” would have contact with them, namely Barack Obama, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarret, John Brennan, Bernie Sanders, etc, etc, and those who put such fools in office.

Fish rots from the head. Wikileaks has recently exposed “Operation Anarchist” by the US & UK intelligence: they broke the encryption code of the Israeli Air Force and have been spying on all its communications for at least 15 years. The goal: to SABOTAGE any Israeli air strike on Iranian nuclear infrastructure ! The cowardly servitude of the US & UK governments is so severe, that they are willing to turn ANY military action by Israel against the terrorist nation of Iran into a bloody catastrophe ! No wonder this attitude filters down to the US & UK militaries. The crew of a UK Navy vessel surrendering to Iranian Revolutionary Guards without a fight in Iraqi waters a few years ago. The crews of 2 US Navy vessels surrendering to Iranian Revolutionary Guards without a fight January 12 this year. An in both cases, the UK & US governments responding with pathetic subservient bleating !

…………………….
Does it matter that these are all fat *Iranians*? Of course not…
Barry says
Who really gives a damn what Iran thinks of the U.S. Sailor of the day- my question is why isn’t the true story about why this incident happened in the first place being released? There is definitely something that the American people aren’t being told. What caused the boats to break down? Why wasn’t a rescue mission immediately dispatched from their Mother Ship? Why was there a surrender ordered without a fight? Why did the Officer in charge issue an apology? Why the hell do they allow women on board ship in the first place and why would she allow them to put a hijab on her head after her capture? If the USN can’t answer any of the above – well perhaps the Iranian statement has some validity and the Officers in Charge should be replaced- with real men.
Custos Custodum says
Speculative responses:
That much is obvious, but one would not expect to be told everything even about a very routine military operation. In fact, in a sane country, the old adage applies that “loose lips sink ships.”
Quite possibly, neither boat “broke down” and this is merely a U.S. government smokescreen to cover up another act of piracy by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
It is exceedingly unlikely that BOTH vessels would have broken down simultaneously. If one vessel was still operational, it could and would have towed the other one.
More broadly, a look at the map shows that the vessels could not have found themselves within reach of Fars Island by mistake. If they were actually in the vicinity, it was by design.
It is not clear that the vessels were dispatched from a “mother ship.” Even if a larger vessel was in the area, it might have been unwise for it to intercede after an act of piracy.
The vessels were not in a position to put up a fight against a larger and heavily armed vessel. In fact, the riverines traveled not fully armed.
He was instructed to do so through the State Department, either ahead of time or after capture.
Lesbian sisterhood at the top (which is not a bad thing by itself – remember the Spartans).
Within the context of the entire incident – either piracy by IRGC or U.S. propaganda op – fussing about the hijab could have raised the temperature. Acquiescence in this respect was surely appropriate and most likely ordered. Note that like most Iranian women, she ensured that some hair showed at the top (which is what a hijab is supposed to to prevent).

I want to know what the Iranians did to that sailor to make him cry. Did they tell him “Your wife is dead.” “Your mother has died.” Or… “We are going to kill you all, starting with the woman (sailor).” Or, “We are going to give the woman to one of our ….. (fill in the blank), since that would be permitted per Allah/Islam. (See http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/slavery.aspx) I cannot believe one of our people would cry just because they are sad or stressed at being captured and ‘humiliated’. Angry and defiant, yes. Sad and crying, no.
G179 says
I bet millions of educated, secretly secular Iranians are deeply ashamed of their regime’s infantile provocations.

Yes, you’re probably right. I would like to know how many Iranians fall in that catagory. Of course a lot of them already fled the country, and lots have been killed or imprisoned. But I am curious about their number in Iran today.
Phil says
Keep on laughing guys, time is not on your side. Iran is facing the most abrupt and disastrous demographic transition of any nation in modern history. Iranian fertility dropped from 7 children per female at the eve of Khomeini’s revolution to a sub-replacement 1.6 children per female in 2012 and has not recovered since. Venereal disease rates are appalling and no doubt contributing to the high infertility rate (specifically the molecular prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis is at least 12.6% in the Tehran area according to Iranian government figures – by way of comparison the US current figure is 0.6%) – courtesy of the large number of Sigha relationships (a variant of our old Muslim favourite of the temporary contractual marriage, the Nikah al mut’ah). Even if every woman in Iran instantly became pregnant with twins, Iran faces an unavoidable and appalling demographic crisis by the middle of this century, with a completely unsupportable worker to elderly dependent ratio worsened by the rapidity of the transition. In a (let’s be charitable) partly-developed nation like Iran this spells an economic train-wreck. The Mullahs know this and are all the more dangerous for that knowledge. Time is running out on their imperialist ambitions and soon they’ll lack the manpower to compete with their Sunni rivals.
As for America? Her population will keep on growing and have a nice healthy worker to dependent ratio for a long time to come.
Still, there’s a silver lining to every cloud, I say. Turkey’s in the same boat – by 2040 half the military-age males will be Kurds…what price Kurdish autonomy then? It must be some consolation to the Mullahs to know that a substantial part of the Sunni heartlands will follow suit.
…..ok, I’m being uncharitable. Bad me.
Mazo says
Arab Shia in Iraq and Lebanon have massive birth rates and are pumping out more and more babies.
Kurds are Sunni, and Arab Sunnis aren’t putting a stop to the babymaking at all.
Phil says
Sorry – the REAL figures (as provided by the Lebanese government) and the figures from Iraq (actual UN-verified figures, not Islamosupremacist propaganda) say very different things. The Shi’ite Iraqi birth spike has begun to plateau – the TFR (Total Fertility Rate) is now 4.86 (last Quintle figures) down from 5.40 in 1995-2000 (and remember it was 7.3 in 1965) with no substantive change in the infant mortality rate. The birth rates are much less “massive” than before. The pattern mirrors the Iranian decline delayed by two and a half decades.The Shi’a, however much they may deny it, are going to be badly hurt by Iran’s decline.
As for the Kurds – I’m fully well aware they are mostly Sunni Muslims of the Shafi’i school. So what? Their historical antipathy to the Turks will certainly trump any pan-Sunni sentiment.
.You said : “Arab Sunnis aren’t putting a stop to the babymaking at all” – really? The TFR for Tunisians has plummeted, Morocco is following suit and Libya is doing badly – the primary babyfactory for the Sunni Arab world remains Egypt and even there birth rates are slowing – coupled with the fact that Egypt can’t feed itself, I think it’s high time the Egyptians controlled their numbers. Even the Palestinian birth rate figures we get from the PA are inconsistent and largely inflated (UNRWA figures give a much lower birthrate and they can back their figures up).
KrazyKafir says
Honestly, can you blame the Iranians? They see the writing on the wall. They see that America now brings traitors home to the White House and presents them as heroes, alongside their dhimmi stooge parents. They see the dismal of real military leadership replaced by SJW’s. Iran is just pointing this out to the world.

Well I am not worried. Obama and Kerry will smooth out the “relations” with Iran after a few heart to heart talks with Mullahs. And a few billions of dollars of mine and yours tax money.
Sad part of the whole Obama fiasco against Islam is that there is a great silence of American people. That is the problem
