Does the photo of American military men on their knees, being deliberately humiliated, bother or anger you as a loyal citizen?

I'm looking at the photo. I don't see anyone being humiliated. I don't see anyone on their knees [not that such would = humiliation]. I see a group of Americans who crossed into Iranian water, which we admit, being treated humanely but cautiously. I am not bothered by the treatment they received. I am bothered by the conduct they exhibited in allowing their craft to go where it was not allowed to go. "navigational errors" means they made a mistake. And they got away with it because the Iranians did not have a hot trigger finger.
