They were navy so they lacked the intestinal fortitude to fight back. Therefor, their story was swept under the rug due to lack of interest. Had it been a boat load of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc Infantry Division soldiers, all hell would have broken out and the headline would read something pertaining to dead Iranians floating about.

>Why would they be given medals?
For bravery, of course. They were prisoners of war.

Awards for being fuckups. Next thing you know they'll start passing out medals for being careless enough to get shot - oh wait, Purple Heart.

Be that as it may, they did end up in captivity and deserve medals.

Sure. Why not. I'm sure a lot of Purple Hearts were issued for self-inflicted wounds. No one wants to admit it but there's lots of cases of it.
