“The Iranian craft came within 200 yards of the US vessels, which were sailing in international waters.
Why would our commanders allow this? “
I must of missed that part. The fire part.
If you look at the video when they are looking aft towards the CG and Iranian boat running a parallel course, the Iranian boat appears to be way closer than 200 yards
like around 460-470 feet or 150+ yards
Why would our commanders allow this? How many drive by explosions from rubber rafts shall we tolerate?
Well, the Iranians didn’t get to within 199 yards of the Ship because the Commanders weren’t allowing it. They gave orders to FIRE, and the Iranians had to flee.
Look, if we had any kind of leadership at all, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the Iranian government would have been declared a terrorist organization long ago.
These boats should have been literally blown out of the water. Does this sound too harsh?
What do you guys want? Another Cole? Whats the big fear here? What happened to all the tough talk about terrorism?
