U.S. sends Navy destroyer to patrol off Yemen amid Iran tensions
I especially like Trump's choice of which destroyer to send. Not just any that happened to be handy, President Trump sent the USS Cole!
Same destroyer a suicide boat approached without sufficient challenge at the end of the Clinton presidency. Following his Rules of Engagement, they let it come close, and it detonated, blowing a huge hole in the hull and killing 17 American sailors.
It's Trump's way of saying, "Go ahead, jihadi slime. Just TRY to hurt this ship again, we'd love you to make the attempt. The crew is ready and waiting for you, or anyone else who thinks he can attack us without consequence any more."
Ooh rah.
