The U.S. is in a shooting war

and we have citizens that think Kamala Harris would be a good Commander in Chief.

September 27, 2024: The US Navy has thwarted an attempted attack by Houthi rebels on three warships navigating the Red Sea, reports confirm.

On Friday, Houthi insurgents announced their "largest naval operation" aimed at halting the progress of US Navy guided-missile destroyers headed for Israel. Houthi forces launched a total of twenty-three ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, reports the Express US. < Guess who gives the Houthi and Hezbollah advanced weapon systems.

Despite claims by the Yemen-based militants of hitting one of the ships, U.S. military officials have refuted this, stating no vessels were damaged.

CNN's Pentagon correspondent Oren Liebermann reported: "Though the Houthis claim to have hit the US warships, the US defense officials say all of the launches were either intercepted or missed, and there was no damage to any ships or injuries to crew members."

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin last month affirmed the deployment of US warships to the Middle East to back Israel against potential assaults by Iran and its allies.

The USS Spruance and USS Stockdale guided-missile destroyers, along with the littoral combat ship USS Indianapolis, were implicated in the recent skirmish.

This incident follows shortly after Houthi declared they had aimed at Tel Aviv and Ashkelon in Israel with a ballistic missile.

Although the strike was intercepted by Israel, Houthi has threatened further attacks if Benjamin Netanyahu does not cease military actions in Gaza and Lebanon.

Additionally, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted the central headquarters of Hezbollah in Beirut last Friday.

A series of massive explosions flattened multiple buildings and sent clouds of orange and black smoke billowing in the skies in the biggest blasts to hit the Lebanese capital in the past year.

Three major Israeli TV channels reported that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was the target of the strikes in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Like being a "little bit pregnant. This geopolitical risk is pretty much on the edge of the cliff. One missile goes into Iran's Kharq Island oil terminal and real oil panic hits the fan.

I sure would hate to have sons young enough to be drafted.
Who in their right mind would want to join the military if Kamala Harris is the Commander-in-Chief.

Just picture in your mind Kamala having a staff meeting with a bunch of generals.

It would be a "holistic" meeting.

IDF jets hit a Yemen refinery and port Sunday. Things already "sporty".
