Nothing worse than Operation Praying Mantis, and by a very wide margin.
Yet HOW MANY Americans know of that one, eh..?
In a week less than 1% of Americans will remember this.
PENTAGON NOW CONFIRMING.
CNN still too busy pushing the “Trump is a PERVERT!” meme to cover this so far.

Oct. 12, 2016
Early this morning local time, the U.S. military struck three radar sites in Houthi-controlled territory on Yemen’s Red Sea coast. Initial assessments show the sites were destroyed. The strikes — authorized by President Obama at the recommendation of Secretary of Defense Ash Carter and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Joseph Dunford — targeted radar sites involved in the recent missile launches threatening USS Mason and other vessels operating in international waters in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb.
These limited self-defense strikes were conducted to protect our personnel, our ships, and our freedom of navigation in this important maritime passageway.
The United States will respond to any further threat to our ships and commercial traffic, as appropriate, and will continue to maintain our freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandeb, and elsewhere around the world.
That was the beginning of the end
We must be distracted from the illegalities being exposed in Cankle’s lost and found e-mails. There will be nukes going off in Syria by next friday trying to keep us diverted.
Obama will be praised for leading us to war with Russia.
I remember Operation Praying Mantis. The USS Samuel Roberts was damaged by an Iranian mine, so we sent naval aircraft to sink a frigate, a bunch of small gunboats, damage a 2nd frigate and other stuff.
