150 yards? What did they think it was; a Japanese freighter?
“He wouldn’t stop, sir, so I fired a warning shot through his liver.”
150 YARDS? It should have been SUNK at one mile. Our military has become gutless. The Navy hasn’t figured out why they have ships and planes and stuff.
Maybe Iran is shopping around for some new American Hostages.
They didn’t suffer many negative consequences when it happened two or three years ago.
"There's your WARNING shot, Iran"
Hey...it wasn’t ordered to stand down and be boarded and captured....
why is this excerpted?
I’m pretty sure T-Rex hasn’t practiced a Thank You speech to the Iranian government for taking such good care of our sailors.
How about a “warning sinking”
There was a woman on that ship. If you think for a moment that wasn’t the leverage the hostage takers used, well I am sure you know that already, women do not, I repeat, not have a place in combat missions where they are a liability for their fellow soldiers, sailors and marines.
About time.
150 yards. One and a half football fields. That’s way too close.
Wimp shots.
In 0bama’s Navy they would have just waved because that’s all they would be allowed to do.
Past time for warning shots below the water line.

And neither was it rammed. So we gotta count this as a win these days.

I agree. There are many other ways for women to serve in the military. I even want them trained on arms, engineering and combat techniques as a precaution, but not serving elbow to elbow as a matter of strategy.
One of the Fraud and his Iranian handler’s personally planned and overseen missions against America.

They are much more likely to get the modern equivalent of “Perdacaris alive, or Raisuli dead!” [Reference is to a real historical incident, which was the basis for the movie, “The Wind and the Lion”]. Trump will NOT back down, and will go the extra mile to protect our citizens (particularly servicemen).
