Troops ridicule Mr Bean, the ‘cry baby’ captive of Iran

Intent on becoming? You’re behind the times.
(The article tries to spin it that this outpouring of contempt is for nothing more than their having tried to sell their stories to the media. Via Drudge.)

Perhaps if Mr. Bean had resisted somehow by, oh I don’t know, firing his weapon maybe, he wouldn’t have been ridiculed so much.
Or maybe if he had attacked one of the ridiculers? Or, adamantly refused to cooperate with the propaganda films. Or, refused to participate in the “President of Iran we love you” gathering in front of the cameras.
Perhaps if Mr. Bean had done any of these things he would not have been ridiculed, at least not by his fellow captives.
Since when does the Royal Navy take Cub Scouts? He doesn’t look old enough to be a Boy Scout. And Mr Bean has beard stubble this kid looks like he’ll have to wait another five years for that.
Sorry to hear about Williams friend. At least we know that one of the Royals won’t forget.
