[QUOTE]The 10 U.S. Navy sailors held by Iran were told by their captors to "act happy" while they were being videotaped during their detention, according to a U.S. defense official with access to the latest information about the debriefing of the sailors.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/15/politics/iran-sailors-act-happy/[/url]
That's funny. You can't force happiness, otherwise it wouldn't be the pursuit of happiness would it? It'd be the possession of happiness. You know? I guess they must not be having a happy time.
should had given then fast food or candy, not the stuff that can be used as a chemical weapon for your bowels.
Yeah, probably. So what? They weren't abused or tortured. They drifted into Iranian waters, they were detained, and they were released on Wednesday. End of story. This whole thing was not nearly as big of a deal as the media was trying to spin it as being. And it wasn't just the media; of course Obama's critics were all over it acting like it was grounds for war and trying to use it as spin against the president. Again. As if that's anything new for them.
Howard Stern talked about this issue this week. Like how are we getting captured by the fucking Iranian Navy? This knocked us down a few pegs.

"Iran and US armed conflict speculated to escalate" [editline]15th January 2016[/editline] All because we gotta show we have big balls to the international community. Be for real.
