Just imagine if some podunk country sent ships to mess with a U.S. Navy destroyer during the days of President Ronald W. Reagan!

I think even Slick would have responded in kind.

**** “Just imagine if some podunk country sent ships to mess with a U.S. Navy destroyer during the days of President Ronald W. Reagan!” ****

I don’t have to Imagine ... when it comes to Iranians and the Straits of Hormuz

You might want to add George HW Bush ... Like Reagan he didn’t take much crap either.

Just imagine the reaction if Americans set out to right our Ship of State.

I have my copy of the Des Moines Register down in the basement from the day Reagan was inaugurated.

Two front line headlines were “Reagan Inaugurated” and “Hostages Released”.

The Iranians knew a serious ass kicking was coming if they still held hostages under Reagan’s watch.
Why is the concept of having overwhelming force to deter your enemies so not understood by so many in this nation?
