I am not impressed.
I have to admit it makes for good sarcasm, knowing what everybody knows about those savages in the Middle East. But as sarcasm, it is just something he reads off a piece of paper someone in the shadows tells him to read to you all.
President Donald J. Chump clearly wants to form a "bromance" with military guys so they will fawn and gush over Donald J. Trump, that weak, little guy.
He has always been a weak, little guy and that is why his daddy, that scumbag Fred Trump, sent little Donnie to that sissy-boy reform school.
All that did was turn him into an even worse crybaby. All his life, he has been a weak, little guy and a crybaby and he never actually makes any sort of positive contribution to anything.
All he has is that stupid name and some idiotic offspring polluting the world even more

‘Terminated!’: Trump Brags ‘Massive Strike’ Has Killed Iran’s Military Leaders
Sean James Sat, April 4, 2026 at 2:41 PM PDT 2 min read
“Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!” Trump posted.
Soon after that, Reuters reported Israeli is preparing to attack Iranian energy facilities “but is awaiting a green light” from the Trump administration.
Trump’s post about many Iranian military leaders being eliminated comes on the 35th day of Operation Epic Fury, which started with joint U.S. and Israeli strikes killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Feb. 28.

The Surface View: Operation Praying Mantis
By Captain J. B. Perkins III, U. S. Navy
May 1989 Proceedings Vol. 115
At the first muzzle flash from the Merrill's 5-inch mount 51, the Iranian 23-mm. gun mount opened up, getting the attention of the ship's bridge and topside watchstanders. The Merrill immediately silenced the Iranian gun with a direct hit, and encountered no further opposition. After about 50 rounds had exploded over the southern half of the GOSP, a large crowd of converted martyrs gathered at the northern end.
At the Sirri GOSP, the sequence of events began essentially the same way they did at Sassan. SAG Charlie gave warnings on time, most of the occupants departed on a tug, and the Wainwright, Bagley, and Simpson commenced fire

Tensions mounted both on board the Wainwright and up the chain of command. The Wainwright's weapons officer, Marty Drake, could not understand why they did not fire. "Sir," he cautioned, "he's got the last remaining Harpoon." But Chandler still had it in his mind that he needed to warn her away, and he maintained this even when the Joshan locked on with its fire control radar. Listening in over the net back on the Coronado and in Tampa, Less and Crist grew increasingly concerned. Less liked the idea of giving the Iranians a warning in hopes of sparing lives, but after repeated warnings he wondered why Chandler had not opened fire. General Crist turned to a senior staff officer sitting next to him and asked apprehensively, "Why doesn't he just blow him out of the water?"
Finally, with only thirteen miles separating the two forces - close enough for the Joshan's captain to see the Wainwright's mast peeking just above the horizon - Chandler issued his fourth and final warning to the Joshan - "Stop and abandon ship. I intend to sink you."

A Sailor's History of the U.S. Navy
By Thomas Cutler
Up in CIC, Operations Specialist Second Class Tom Ross, who had been serving in Wainwright since 1985, heard the captain tell all to brace themselves and felt his heart thumping in his chest. He remembered that an earlier Iranian propaganda broadcast had warned that the Americans would "never leave the Persian Gulf alive."
Out on deck, Doug Brewer actually saw the Harpoon as it roared toward his ship. He fervently hoped the Harpoon's acquisition radar would prefer the fluttering chaff "tinfoil" to the ship beneath his feet.
From the starboard bridge wing, Jon Fischman watched as the missile grew larger at a very rapid rate. At less than one hundred feet, he could see the lettering on the its side, and he realized that he would not be seeing letters if the missile were coming straight at him.
Inside CIC, Tom Ross felt the bulkheads rattle as the Harpoon roared down the ship's starboard side, close aboard. It was a moment he was not likely ever to forget.
Brewster was most relieved where he saw the missile plunge into the sea astern of the ship, hitting just fifty to seventy-five yards from Wainwright. As Palmer later wrote, "In a literal sense, Wainwright had 'dodged a bullet.'"
With the roar of the missile still echoing in CIC, rapid but disciplined orders and reports filled the air: "Whiskey, this is Alfa Whiskey. Red and free!"
"Fire SWC!"
"Birds affirm."
"Birds away on hostile track 1077."
Again, the bulkheads rattled as several surface-to-surface missiles left Wainwright's rails in retaliation. The other ships in SAG Charlie - frigates Simpson and Bagley - opened fire as well.

Copy. NTD COSE hold requested. Copy that. I have an LCC violation of O-CT-004 S-band transponder anomaly. This was a transient LCC violation, so transponder one had a demodulated SNR estimate that went down to 2 dBm. When it should have been between 10 and 13, it is now back up to 12, but we did lose that for just a moment. It does not appear that we lost our bit sync or carrier lock, which would be indicative that we lost our lock with the vehicle. So, at this point, recommendation would still be go.

However, we do have a pre-planned contingency procedure if we want to look at that. But again, this is transient, so we're back in a nominal range.

Gaeta: I'm sorry to disturb you, sir, but we have a Priority 1 alert message from Fleet Headquarters. It was transmitted in the clear.
Adama: In the clear? What does it say?
Gaeta: "Attention all Colonial units. Cylon attack underway. This is no drill."

Quotes
Carol Malone: Steve, this is important. Go where? That's right, go where? What happened in your room... Are you listening? What happened in your room is not an isolated incident. It is something that is happening everywhere.
Steve Malone: What are you talking about?
Carol Malone: So, where you gonna go? Where you gonna run? Where you gonna hide? Nowhere, 'cause there's no one like you left. That's right...
Steve Malone: [Realizes that Carol is a pod person] Oh, god.
Carol Malone: That's right, that's good, you're listening now, that's very good. Okay, now I know you're frightened Steve. I know you're scared. That's okay, I understand that. You're confused. Let me tell you something, Steve. Let me tell you something. All that anger, all that fear, all that confusion, it's going to melt away. It's going to go away, Steve. It's going to go away. You go to sleep, you wake up. It's very simple. In the morning you'll wake up, you'll feel wonderful. We're going to be together, we'll be connected, we'll be close. No more fear.

Quotes
Yorish: I say that civilization is an illusion, a game of pretend. What is real is the fact that we are still animals, driven by primal instincts. As a psychiatrist, you must know this to be true.
Carol: To be honest, ambassador, when someone starts talking to me about the truth, what I hear is what they're telling me about themselves more than what they're saying about the world.
Dr. Henryk Belicec: Quite right, well done, doctor.
Yorish: Perhaps this is true, perhaps being a Russian in this country is a kind of pathology. So what do you think, can you help me? Can you give me a pill? To make me see the world the way you Americans see the world. Can a pill help me understand Iraq, or Dafur, or even New Orleans?
Dr. Henryk Belicec: Don't be drawn in by his madness, doctor. He is Russian, he needs to argue like he needs to breathe.
Yorish: All I am saying is that civilization crumbles whenever we need it most. In the right situation, we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so, where every crisis did not result in new atrocities, where every newspaper is not full of war and violence. Well, this is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human.
Carol: While I'll give you that we still retain some basic animal instincts, you have to admit we're not the same animal we were a few thousand years ago.
Yorish: True.
Carol: Read Piaget, Kohlberg or Maslow, Graves, Wilber, and you'll see that we're still evolving. Our consciousness is changing. Five hundred years ago, postmodern feminists didn't exist yet one sits right beside you today. And while that fact may not undo all of the terrible things that have been done in this world, at least it gives me reason to believe that one day, things may be different.
