Locked and loaded to do what?? Why do we need to take any kind of military strike on Iran based on what some middle eastern country wants us to do?? Do we not sell a shit load of weapons to Saudi Arabia?? If they feel Iran did this and they need to strike back with military action, let them send their own men and women (if women are allowed in their military) to die --- not ours.
