Right wingers hate President Obama, and they're willing to use our service people to hurt him

They've always held him in contempt and they're positively giddy about the fact that the Iranians have detained our sailors who, for some inexplicable reason, have strayed close to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard military installation located in the middle of the gawd damned Persian Gulf.

Fuck these people.

I guess even if it shakes out ok, the brass will be doing a thorough after action review. (I hope so anyway.)

They are small boats, one broke down, the other was helping trying to fix. They may have drifted into Iranian waters.
