My sources say 40 aircraft, mostly F35s, on 8 waves (sorties). A lot of ordinance. Yemen is on fire.

Dear Santa,

Please send more MK82 500-lb GP bombs (with JDAM laser-guidance add-on would be nice).

Sincerely,
Israel

The Houthis have fired on American ships. We have skin in the game, too.

The USS Cole bombing was a suicide attack by al-Qaeda against USS Cole, a guided missile destroyer of the United States Navy, on 12 October 2000, while she was being refueled in Yemen’s Aden harbor

17 American sailors killed. I support Israel

No, not banned. Just disregarded as wrong and irrelevant.

You are one ignorant person. You have NO respect for history and heritage.

Go back to your dust ball life and stay where you belong.
