Female British Sailor Says She Knew Risks of Navy Life

Submitted by Brent Roberts, Mar 31, 2007 12:31

I have many questions about the capture of these British service personnel. Number one is why didn't the British defend themselves? Where was the Cornwall? Number two is, Did they try to escape capture? If they had wouldn't that have forced the iranians to fire upon them, thus changing the somewhat subdued nature of there capture? Number three; my country, the United States of America, where were we when the iranian navy was violating Iraqi territory?

Too many to list actually, but those three main questions & the discussion they conjure could keep me interested for an afternoon. If any British citizens read this rest assured we wish you & your people the best, & if you call on us for help of any kind I pray we will treat you as friends & family; not just allies.
