think we have enough ordinance to take care of this light work...

That's just the Iranian Navy.

While it doesn't have large vessels or submarines, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy is much larger, much nuttier, and more of a threat.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes your don’t...

This is not going to be like some British surrender of a small patrol craft where the sailors are paraded like some prize won at the arcade...

We have had some interesting encounters with the knuckleheads in the past...It is well documented, and they are a risk to some extent...

The issue is if they start doing that kind of closing and dodging with our capital ships and other assets in the gulf, or other waters in the area, its going to be tht much more dangerous for them...

A good commander will not seek a confrontation (in this case), but they will be prepared to take care of the situation when it comes to clearly defending themselves on the spot...

We may have our doubts about the President and his track record on tactical military decisions...

But I, and many others, have the upmost confidence with the folks on the ground, sea and air over there right now...

I just wish I could sign back up for the fun...I miss it every day...
