By the end of the operation, U.S. air and surface units had sunk, or severely damaged, half of Iran’s operational fleet.]


Given that Iran is developing nukes and the missiles with which to deliver them, this would be a fine opportunity to convert tens of billions of dollars of very expensive Iranian equipment into scrap. And by equipment, I mean fixed and rotary wing aircraft, navy ships, radar stations, ballistic missile stockpiles, ammo dumps and nuclear facilities. We might even, for a change, destroy stuff that costs more than the ordnance we use.

I hear that! Wasn’t it just last month that we used two F35 JSFs to deliver a million-dollar bomb to the mouth of a cave?

What a waste ... expensive target practice at best.
