Good question. As of this writing, no Americans were killed or wounded, thanks to our early warning system. Do we let Iran off the hook because they fired and missed? Yes, they could have attacked a larger base with more Americans on it, or one that is closer to the Iran border. Meaning, they could have tried harder to kill Americans. What to do, what to do.
I don't know that we should just let it pass. I won't be pissed if that is the decision, but I gotta say that when fired on if you don't fore back then the enemy is emboldened, and these effers are already bold enough. Truth is, had they killed even one American last night then we would have been justified in a swift and heavy response. Not against their population but against the missile storage sites, nuke weapons processing or weapons manufacturing, and maybe even their oil facilities. In my view, they were dumb-shit stupid to do what they did and got lucky in that they didn't kill anybody.
So, do we hit back? I say yes, hit their missile storage sites and degrade their ability to fire missiles at us or anyone else. Or I'd hit their SAM sites and air defense systems. Those systems use radar to find incoming planes, drones, and missiles, which can be used to locate and destroy them. Doesn't have to be overwhelming, just a clear message: DON'T FUCK WITH US.
