Odd that there’s no mention of how long it took the Iranian vessel to sink and whether there were any survivors... I thought we’d seen an end to these sissy ROEs.

Looks like that was wishful thinking unsafe? And unprofessional? What? We are allowing that? Our stated response sounds like something cowering comedy would write in his diary.

Act of war. Blow it out of the water.

Ditto. If this was in international waters/airspace, blow them to smithareens and send Teheran a bill for munitions expended.

I hope that if it was a bullet shot at the chopper that it would have taken them out. Not sure if the chopper was armed but if it was an Apache different story.

I thought the Obama navy was history. What a disgrace to be punked by Iranian a-holes over and over.
