#1 How about we subpoena POTUS, the Central Command Combatant Commander, and the Chief of Naval Operations instead ?

#2 Like they weren't already interrogated enough.

#3 It was pretty clear to me that the boats in question were seized after they had finished delivering some sensitive cargo somewhere. All the indignities that they endured were endured for the benefit of safeguarding the "package" that they had recently delivered. Not fun, but necessary. I just hope that the package was not compromised.

Best to leave remaining stones un-turned. I can just imagine the living hell that the enlisted sailors have to suffer - in silence - and if they are men (and woman) enough to endure the slurs, and keep secrets safe that need to stay safe - they have my utmost respect.

For the Naval Academy OIC of that fateful encounter - let's hope that Ernest E. Evans is up there somewhere, nodding his approval.

John D. Bulkeley would be more appropriate.
