Washington, DC (TLS). The Liberty Sphere has made no attempt to hide our utter disdain of the Iranian low-lives who took the British soldiers captive. We believe that a decisive, devastating military response from the West is essential.
However, we must also shine the spotlight on the failure of the British soldiers to defend themselves. Rather than fire on their captors, they caved.
There is only one reason for this. The politically-correct Leftists who run British society and who are working overtime to run America have made it unacceptable for a soldier to fire upon the enemy. If they do, they may face court-martial if an enemy dies.
This is precisely what happened in Viet Nam, and it is the reason we lost. As President Ronald Reagan courageously observed, 'The brave men and woman who served in Viet Nam should not take the fall for losing a war that the politicians in Washington would not let them win.'
The rules of engagement under which the West operates in Wartime these days is a joke. Only under limited conditions can a soldier return hostile fire or use force to defend themselves against an operation such as an Iranian hostage-siege.
This is entirely unacceptable and is the result of years of politically-correct balderdash emanating from certain politicians and unelected government officials.

Apparently, the helicopter that was providing air cover for the British boarding party was not even allowed to fire warning shots, let alone use deadly force, to keep the Iranian patrol boats away from the British Sailors and Marines. The once indomitable British Navy has been brought to its knees, not by an enemy, but by the liberal elitist politicians who think it is uncivilized to fight to protect its own.
