Go back to about 1983 when they did mine the Straights of Hormuz.

One of my best friends and dorm-mates in my sophomore year at UW - Madison was Mehdi Salaheza Day. He is/was a great guy and friend.
That was in 1972. I hope he's OK.

I hope his sons ID these fat fuckers and quietly take them out, when they visit home.

Great piece. I haven't read this kind of reflective and personal writing in too long. What a nice dose of our real realty.

Watch the next few months unfold. I was the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet/Command when Iran mined the Straights of Hormuz and other parts of the Red Sea. We had to deploy a number of ships on MH-53 minesweeper helicopters to sweep them. I took weeks and oil/gas prices soared for months.

I was the spokesman for AtlanticFleet/Command when Iran mined the Straits of Hormous and other parts of the Red Sea. We had to deploy MH-53s to sweep them. It took weeks.

Jfc. They didn't think about this and have a plan. The Chinese are laughing their ass off.

Exactly, and Trump and his closest advisors are fucking idiots in regard to military engagement.
I expect this decision will ultimately cost many American lives.
Iran's strategy against us may take months or years, but I anticipate they will come for us.

They're writing strongly worded letters that will never be read by the recipients.
Lame-assed bullshit instead of strength and courage.

Yes, unfortunately.
Not all of us white people are racists. It's a matter of education.
Too bad that's one of our lowest political investments above the city/county level.
