The US Navy had a similar event.....with two boat crews.

The Iranians gained a propaganda advantage and we lost face in the process.

No one got killed or wounded although some careers took a bit of a detour.

At some point this game is going to take a turn for the bad and some good people are going to die.

When that happens....I pray that our response is immediate, over-whelming, and decisive.

We can look back to the initial attacks on the Falklands where the Royal Marines gave a good account of themselves but confronted with absolutely no hope of winning.....did the right thing and laid down their arms.

It was not an easy thing for them to do but they did what was necessary and lived to fight another day.
