U.S. Navy rescues Iranian sailors

I've been in and out of the Gulf a couple times aboard the USS Nimitz. I worked in Combat Systems in the Ship's Self Defense division. I worked on anti-missile weapons systems as an FC.

That is awesome. I will have to give these a full reading this afternoon when I have more time.
 
I got all nostalgic and found some pics of me loading missiles on the web.

Wow, peace guys.

As an old lieutenant, I have to warn people. War is not a joke. This time US should behave wisely and deal with Iran with more democratic and peaceful ways. And don't think about Iran's vocal threats. They have to do that to stand strong against their people. I love persians as a nation but their governments are'nt on the rigth track in this new modern era. Neither is US though.

I do not advocate war with Iran. War is never a joke. However if Iran was to close the straight the world community cannot allow that.
 
Fox "News" is reporting that British and French warships are with the Abraham Lincoln carrier group as well.
