Whatever happened to name/rank/serial number?
April 2nd, 2007
Why are these British officers speaking on Iranian TV?
I actually don’t care whether they were inside Iran’s territorial waters or not.
I do care that they apparently never watched a movie about WWII.
Name. Rank. Serial number.
It’s the most they owe their kidnappers and it’s the least they owe their country.

That assumes that Iran gives a crap about the Geneva Conventions.
The Belmont club makes some good points here:

code of conduct for US soldiers:
IV
When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.
I guess it’s different for British soldiers
And , I don’t give a crap if Iran gives a crap about the Geneva Conventions.
