Serious question - what the fuck were we supposed to do? Two US warships (yes, motorboats with .50 cals qualify) drift into Iranian waters and get captured by the Iranian Navy (as is their right). So, do we send in the Seventh Fleet or Seal Team 6 to get them?
Or do they hang out in an Iranian naval base for less than 24 hours before being released the next day?

I tend to agree with the ActualDuck here mostly. There wasn't much else to do in that incident. What bothers me are the circumstances that allowed the Iranians to have a propaganda victory releasing those pictures, and that they were comfortable in doing so.

No, we roll over. Without protest, we let the Iranians point guns at our guys so the religion of peace gets a propaganda photo op, we apologize to them for peacefully drifting into their waters, and all the while we cut them a check for $150B to help finance their operations. That's what we do in 2016.
How about we don't sail into enemy arms and surrender on the Eve of a $70 Billion sanction lifting?
No US Military ship would EVER be compromised in a battle tense corridor... Left to defend themselves Benghazi style... Unless our Commander In Chief ordered it.
By the way both Iran and the US now say the ships did not have engine trouble. There are details missing from this story but the bottom line is Obama's Mullah pals in Iran won again.
Let's make sure we aren't late with the 150 billion we are sending them. Nice fellas those Iranians. Big hitters too
