Damn! Wrong graphic. Sorry.
I'm sorry to say, but the Female soldier seemed to cave instantly. She was seen eating and smoking and blabbing. Isn't she Pregnant? So why was she there anyway and why is she smoking? All I know is lots of people said that she seemed to roll over immediately and seemed all too willing to do what ever they told her.
Voted : lessee, door #1 is 'Confess' and Door #2 is 'Cut off my Head'.. tough choices
Nope, Margaret. I think you got the graphic just right.
Lol, I'd like to know what choice whoever voted 'It was despicable' would make in the same situation. 'Me stupid, more electricity to my gonads please. Second thoughts, pass me the toilet tissue.'
^The thing is, Britvic, that thth all the ere seemed to little coercion. And I know that absence of evidence of overt coercion doesn't mean there wasn't any. Also, just being in that situation must be coercive -- I mea with all the beheadings and such as a background, I expect it could be fairly intimidating. Nonetheless, I was disappointed with the performance of coalition forces.
Voted : They were under stress and duress
Their survival instincts "kicked in"...go along to get along...maybe it got them released sooner than if they had just remained silent...I seriously don't believe their lives were endangered due to the fact the whole World knew they were in Iranian custody...
Maybe they were told to do all that as part of the British policy. The Iranians did treat them very well too.
Voted : It was understandable
No, they were just following orders. British forces are now told that if captured they should pretty much go along with anything that might secure their release. Within reason obviously... Same reason they didn't put up a fight when first captured. Apart from the fact thay would have been slaugtered as they were totally outgunned, their rules of engagement prevented them from doing so.
Whore.
^???
Well, I could have suggested that Margaret123 is obviously soooo tough that she'd not only have refused to be paraded before the cameras, she'd have karate-kicked everyone in Iran to death whilst singing the star spangled banner and baking apple pie at the same time... or far more likely, she's a blow-hard armchair warrior skank with a stupid Hollywood-induced sense of knee-jerk patriotism to match her immature opinions. But I couldn't really be arsed typing all that, so I just decided to call her a whore.
Voted : They were under stress and duress
^Easy ramaDUNG, I was only exploring the issue. I never took a position except to say I was disappointed with these "confessions." I don't blame anyone for doing what they think they must to save their lives. I'm confused as to how this makes me a "whore." Sorry if you were offended. None intended.
Personally, I wouldn't presume to be "disappointed" about the behaviour of people that had been abducted & put in fear of their lives by a pack of fundamentalist nutters like Iran, mainly because I wasn't there to share the (undoubtedly unpleasant) experience.
