Doesn't fit the narrative, so people ignore this. Or are monitoring biased sources who don't report this.
It is just amazing how people aren't able to spend more than 30 seconds reading about an issue before spouting off into their typical ideological bs just because they don't like certain people in power.
I'd imagine that about 1% of this country even knows the term Houthi.

You mean during the Yugoslavia campaign. The 90s were more than a few years ago. The F117 was downed when it flew directly over a Sam being launched. It had already struck it's target and all air defences began firing. That's how it was downed.

No response from Reagan
The Iraqis heavily apologized for the incident. Publicly striking them at that point would have been internationally condemned.

She has publicly spoken of ringing China with missile defense bases.

Piling on to Kino's post. Not only was this not "a few years ago," it was also not a "raghead...hand held SAM." The F-117 was shot down by an SA-3 that was part of a Serbian Air Defense Missile Brigade.

quote:was tongue in cheek, it was detected using old, out dated Russian radar that had been jury rigged to detect chinks in stealth armor, such as when the missile doors, bomb doors, and landing gear doors cycle open and closed, and it was 17 years ago, doesn't seem so long ago, but I'm old
it was also not a "raghead.

Yes but I would also understand that politics is all part of this game. Having been antagonized by Iranians in the straights of Hormuz when I was a mission commander I wanted to fire at them...but I wasn't going to be the one to start a war. I have also operated in the area the Mason is in right now and its a mess with lots of shipping and small fishing boats. But just because you want to shoot at them doesn't mean its a good idea. You are talking about launching missiles into a sovereign nation, there a protocols and permission needed from said nation. If it was from a ship it would already be at the bottom of the Red Sea.
Ok I understand all of that but what is the contingency plan of this admin when one of these rebels hits the half court shot at the buzzer and sinks one of our ships and sailors die? Screw Iran. If they are feeding these rebels weapons then bomb them too. Gives us reason to restore order to that nuclear deal anyway.

It was more of a defunding military zing than an antiwar zing
