Your foaming at the mouth is pretty sad. It smacks of "I am a has been, so I'll rant and rave."
I suspect the problem might not be the demand for identification, but the granting of "permission" to procede, as though the US Navy ship had authority to deny permission.
If you try to rule the world, you make a lot of enemies.
