Colonel Tunnell is truly a courageous soldier. He placed his concerns about his troops ahead of his own career. Just wonder how many Navy commanders have the same concerns but have not written to the Secretary of the Navy. Our big blue water capital ships are in the narrow confines of the Persian Gulf and are very vulnerable to the Chinese shore to ship missiles that have been supplied to Iran. There is no strategic reason to put those big carriers in the Gulf.

“There is no strategic reason to put those big carriers in the Gulf.”

They should be off the coast of Israel with flyover permission...

But wait....that might hurt the Iranians feelings...forget that....
