"U.S. Navy Reports Second Rescue of Iranian Mariners" "In the second diplomacy-tinged sea rescue in less than a week, a vessel on patrol with the Navy’s Fifth Fleet near the Persian Gulf saved a group of distressed Iranian mariners on Tuesday, pulling them to safety from a cargo dhow that was foundering with a flooded engine room, the naval central command reported." http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/11/world/middleeast/navys-fifth-fleet-reports-second-rescue-of-iranians-at-sea.html

any ship of any nation would do the same. its one of the duties and functions of any mariner to rescue those in peril. it has nothing to do with politics, it has to do with maritime tradition going back centuries.

yeh it rises to the level of obligation.

Yes, it is an obligation. However, I put this in context in the death penalty handed down to a American citizen in Iran this past week. Twice in recent days the US Navy has saved a group of Iranian mariners and yet Iran is set to "make an example" of one of our citizens. And it might be an obligation to rescue the Iranian mariners. There is nothing that says the US couldn't hold them all hostage to be exchanged for our citizen. It is what the Iranians would do if the tables were turned. That, folks, is why we are the good guys.

Seems I recall, didn't the Russians pick up some pirates and before making shore told two if they wanted out, go ahead a swim home and threw them overboard ? With most there are rules, with a few...there are none.

Did the Sailors piss on them? Can't have the Marines having all the fun now can we?
