If your argument is simply it started in ‘79, then you are as ignorant as your argument. I cant follow your argument because there isn’t one. So in your thread starting post you posted: "From day one Trump was intent on doing economic warfare on Iran and now we have seen that escalate to a shooting war. " And an hour ago, you state: "It didn’t start in ‘79, it started way before that." Do you not see the incongruity of your own statements? I'm not the kind of guy that gets into keyboard arguments or piles on, but you are one strange source. The fact is that the "shooting" between Iran, the US and a host of other countries has been going on for decades. From seizing an embassy, blindfolding and parading people around Tehran, the crap they source in the middle east through proxies, mining the Strait of Hormuz, (viewed in international law as an act of war and thus "shooting"), launching missiles, running gun boats at ships in international waters, mining a vessel, including the USS Roberts, shooting a drone in international airspace and a host of other things on their side..... and on ours: Operation Praying Mantis which basically sunk half their fleet, including dropping an LGB down the stack of the Iranian ship Sabalan, (mistakenly attributed to an A-6, but actually done by an F-18 from my old squadron, go Shrikes, and on and on and on. Ya. the shooting just started. ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) 21 hours ago, sherpa said: Nope. Never fired. I got the first intercept of an Iranian hostile after the embassy. Launched of Kitty Hawk and got a com to connect with the E2, early warning aircraft. They linked me to an intercept of an Iranian P3 who was closing on the ship, at 200 miles. Tapped him at 150 miles, and showed him my missiles, two heaters,with the appropriate hand signals, telling him that if he threatened the task force I would kill him. Task Force commander, aboard Kitty Hawk at the time, said that if he gets within 50 miles, I was going to get a cleared to fire, or if they open any doors on the bottom. The speculation was that they had Harpoon, and anti ship missile we had sold them, and that was a reasonable range to eliminate the threat. He closed to 45 miles, my missiles were locked, and I asked for a cleared to fire, and they said no. P3 got to 30 miles, and I said that since it was so close, I would first take out the missile as it dropped, and then the airplane. The guy turned away at 25 miles. I often wonder what would have happened if I simply shot him and claimed an aggressive action within the rules of engagement. North Indian Ocean. Nobody would have known Glad I didn't, 'cause I'm a good guy. I'm glad you didn't because they probably would have strung you up for it. 1 hour ago, Rob's House said: I'm kinda hot for Iranian chicks. I've noticed they like to refer to themselves as 'Persian'.

Brett Velicovich on the drone that took down Soleimani: 'You only get one shot' By Julia Musto | Fox News You only get "one shot" while taking down a target like Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, drone expert Brett Velicovich said Saturday. Appearing on "America's News HQ: Weekend" with host Ed Henry, Velicovich -- who once tracked Soleimani's movements -- said that the drone strike on Soleimani was a " forceful reminder that the Iranians can no longer attack Americans with impunity, [as well as] that the U.S. government can retaliate with a wide variety of options that are both devastating actions that are short of war." "Thanks to President Trump's decisive action, we are able to use one of the tools within the government's arsenal to strike and to strike Soleimani with precision," he added. https://www.foxnews.com/media/brett-velicovich-qassem-soleimani-drone-strike-iran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold was full of life but was cut short in a violent moment. While few people had ever heard of Harold before his death, many did afterward And in death, something very shocking happened.

He was returned to America with full military honors.It has been a tradition that the president attends the funeral of General and Flag officers killed in the line of duty.Richard Nixon attended the funeral of a Major General Casey killed in Vietnam and George W. Bush attended the funeral of Lieutenant General Timothy Maude, who was killed in the 9/11 attacks.While Major General Greene was buried, Barack Obama was golfing. The Vice President wasn't there either. Neither was the Secretary of Defense.Flags were not even lowered half-mast.Four days after Harold Greene gave his life for America, Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri.Brown was at best a young thug. In the minutes before his death, he committed a robbery at a local convenience store. According to other reports, Brown struck Officer Darren Wilson and shattered his orbital bone. Obama sent a three-person delegation to Brown's funeral!Neither Obama nor Biden would attend the funeral of the highest ranking military officer killed in the line of duty since 9/11, yet he sent a delegation to the funeral of a thug.When Margaret Thatcher, one of America's staunchest allies and Ronald Reagan's partner in bringing down Soviet communism died, Obama sent only a small low-level delegation to her funeral. The snub was not missed by the British.When Chris Kyle, the most lethal American sniper in history was murdered, there was no expression of sympathy from the White House.But when Whitney Houston died from drug overdose, the Obama/Biden administration ordered all flags be flown at half-mast.There was no White House delegation at the funeral of an American hero. American heroes die and Obama goes to the golf course.A thug dies and he gets a White House delegation.No wonder most "REAL" Americans hold Obama in such contempt, especially members of our Military.And Biden is now expounding on how great the Obama/Biden administration was.Stand up for the "Harolds" in America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
