Shameful Royal Navy Hostages

I still don't get it.

1. While fighting a war, you somehow manage to get yourselves captured by a country NOT fighting a war. No shots fired.
2. You immediately confess, seemingly to anything the Iranians want you to confess to, allowing yourselves to be filmed smiling and relaxing, putting up no resistance.
3. Upon release you thank those who captured you and accept gifts from them?!
4. Upon returning home you sell the story.
5. And NOW you go on and make sick jokes about it while you are home on leave.

Any money that any of these hostages earned should be confiscated and invested in the war effort.

Not exactly the behavior I would expect from brave, honorable, well-trained service personnel.
