Another Navy commander tied to Iran incident relieved of duty

WASHINGTON – Another commander responsible for two Navy patrol boats that were detained by Iran in January has been relieved of duty, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command said Friday.

Capt. Kyle S. Moses, commander of Task Force 56, was “relieved due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command,” the Navy said in a statement.

Moses is the second commander to be relieved as a result of the Jan. 12 incident in which two patrol boats from Coastal Riverine Squadron 3 drifted into Iranian waters near Farsi Island in the Persian Gulf. Ten U.S. sailors were detained overnight by Iran in a highly publicized international incident. Iran released numerous propaganda videos about the incident and it was considered an embarrassment for the Navy.

What Iran did was an act of war.  Obama thanks Iran and fires our guys.

The whole sorry episode was a disgrace to the country, and symptomatic of the PC rot that is ongoing within the U.S. military today.

One story I read indicated they were so used to the Iranians pointing guns at them that they didn't think anything different until the Iranians stepped aboard.

Poor discipline caused by weak leadership at the top.

From what I understand, we paid a ransom to get them back.
