Did they let if fly by the carrier or did they not initially catch it?

Either way, just more proof showing the worlds tyrants that we are nothing more than a paper tiger.

Would be better to keep them out of there. Why? Burning millions. Risking instability. Bring them effing home.

The Iranian drone took a picture of the Eisenhower crew while flying over the US ship.

Did the Eisenhower crew wave and then face Mecca?
Were the kneeling rugs broken out?

This navy is a joke...
