U.S. Navy warships are surrounded by Iranian vessels early Sunday morning in the Strait of Hormuz which are international waters...

This is pathetic. How can we let them say "I am coming at you, You will explode is a couple of minutes" after repeated warnings..the Navy even let them drop white boxes in front of one of the warships without knowing what they contained. The USS Hopper warned the boats repeatedly to back off and identify themselves before the threatening radio transmissions and before the boxes were dropped and they still didn't destroy them. I think this is a horrible move on the Navy's part. They should have made the order to fire on them after the transmissions...the Army or Marines would have never let this happen. The Iranian boats would be at the bottom of the ocean....

What are your stances on this?

Warn then fire. It is time for all of us to come to terms with the fact that Islam is a religion of hatred.
