How about a couple of Arclight strikes. A 24hr pounding by B52 will certainly help moral there.

Yeah, I remember. They’re there sitting in the middle of the Persian Gulf with their CIWS TAGGED OUT. Deadly mistake.

Great from an environmental standpoint too as it would just be blasting sand rather than vegetation.

When they begin launching anti aircraft missiles, time to take the batteries out, forever.

Should have been done when Yemen had the big death to America rally.

10’s of thousand of enemy combatants out in the open.

Chanting death to America.

would have sent a very strong message.

DON’T MESS WITH US.

Yeah, we got sucker punched. Should never happen again. I worked with a guy who was on a carrier in the 50's. During a port call in South America, protesters came out in small boats, the ship played fire hoses on them to keep them away. I like NavyShoe's solution better: CIWS them 72 virgins, express delivery.

The time to take out those batteries is when they are first spotted. It is an active war zone where "the rebels" (and their Iranian backers) are supporting international piracy. Waiting around to get shot at is a losing strategy.

Designating the area as a "free-fire-zone" and killing anything that looks remotely hostile is a winning strategy.

We should have actual Congressional declarations of war to authorize these actions. And properly fund them. What a quaint notion.

Why does the author capitalize every other word - does he think that’s cool?

Is that act an “unofficial” Iranian declaration of war?

And why is it any response will be called an “escalation”.
