Title: Iranians Rescued At Sea, AGAIN.
Post by: FreeBorn on January 10, 2012, 04:31:42 PM
As Iranian President I'minajihad promises to annihilate any American forces foolish enough to approach the Straights of Hormuz Iranian mariners are having a tough time just staying afloat while out fishing. Twice in recent days U.S. Naval forces have answered distress calls and pulled hapless Iranian sailors from the drink and those plucked from the waves are very greatful for it too, smiles all around. I doubt any of them refused the offer or chanted "death to America" once they were safely aboard the decks of American vessels and being served halal meals from the galley.

Also, giving credit where credit is due I'd like to point out that the most recent rescue was made by the United States Coast Guard in case anyone missed that with the Navy getting much press in the coverage.   :cgflag:

Most people don't even know the USCG is over there.

If you have problems in the water, I'll toss you the CG's best approved life preserver. A concrete block!  :-)

Throw 'em a beach ball.  If they can hold on to it, they win.
