Not proportionate for this specific incidence. But shooting down this drone needs to be placed into perspective with Iran being responsible for many American deaths over the years, in Iraq, terrorist actions and otherwise. That case needs to be made with the citizens so that next time there is something similar to the drone attack happens, we won’t feel restrained by the fact that no one died. A whole lot more than 150 Americans have died at the hands of the Iranians over the years.

I think that if starting a war with Iran will damage Trump's election chances, we will lose far more than we will ever gain from doing it.

Trump is the last bastion of sanity and freedom in this nation, and if another nutbag Democrat gets that power, It will cost us far more in lost freedom than any war with Iran would have ever benefited us.

Let us not be penny wise and pound foolish.

These are my exact feelings as well.

There has to be a point where that line is crossed and action has to be taken. Launching 3 cruise missiles at the cost of 8 million dollars does not seem to be the correct response for a 300k dollar loss unless 10s of millions of dollars is damaged in return and some lives will be lost.

Tough call.
