Jeff Emanuel has a good explanation of why the British troops who were captured by the Iranians should be ashamed of themselves, and he shows why Americans aren’t likely to act the same:
"Given that all fifteen were not present in the propaganda videos, and some had to be cut out of the media’s pictures of the sailors’ release, it is entirely possible that there were a few out of the whole who did not break, who did not give in, and who did not so easily shed their personal honor. Unfortunately, these good men – whichever they may be – have been eclipsed by their comrades, from the officers down, who did not think their country worth the effort."
