So did the captain have to consult a WH lawyer first, before defending themselves? Obama’s rules of engagement, you know.

Ponce Afloat Forward Staging Base.
An aircraft carrier for helicopters.

And then the ship destroyed the Yemeni shore battery.

Hillary’s ROE will not be any different so you can expect more of this crap to take place. Only with Trump will it subside.

1. We defended successfully.
2. We destroyed the enemy who fired at us.
3. More details about the devastation we unleashed on them? (/s)

Sounds like it was way way more serious than was previously characterised. If we don’t respond we are asking for more

Most likely some place in “fly-over” country.

“Obama lets them shoot back ?”
Not likely, not in a fundamentally transformed military.
Watch for a Court Martial, and a few billion for Yemen.

If we shot back, it might discourage the enemy from taking hostages later.

I don’t see anything in the article that says the Mason then began counter battery operations.
Did I miss something?
5.56mm

It went to voicemail. The skipper acted anyway. Will expect to see him “purged” shortly.

Big improvement..!
After the USS Cole was rammed and almost SUNK, the Captain forbade distribution of live ammo to the crew.
NOT before the blast, okay..? AFTER the blast.
Cuz he wanted to prevent a TRAGEDY. You think I'm kidding, but I'm NOT kidding.
This is a YUGE improvement.
