Faye and her colleages should receive medals for showing exceptional common sense. They correctly assesed their situation and did not fire their weapons, thus saving their own and many Iranians lives. In so doing they exposed the obscene bu...sht of "doing your duty" "dying for your country" and all the other forms of military conditioning which are now failing to imprint on more sceptical young minds.
The roars of appoplexy coming from the dinosaurs on this thread are predictable. Real heros in our modern age are those who keep their consiences intact and refuse to kill in aggressive & illegal wars.
Thanks Two's in for summing it up so well.
OK, simply go back to the start of the thread and re-read it, no one has said they should have died "doing their duty". Its the conduct
after capture that irks.
Guess you're not seriously Military then........
