Yemeni rebels fired on the USS Mason in The Red Sea Wednesday at 6am ET.

The strike originated from south of the town of Al Hudayah, not far from Yemen’s capital of Sana’a. The area is controlled by the Iranian backed Houthi insurgent group.

Defense officials report that the vessel was fired on by a Cruise Missile, which failed hit its intended target. The US destroyer class ship fired countermeasure projectiles to prevent it from being damaged. No sailors aboard the USS Mason were harmed.

To paraphrase and old saying:

Shoot at me once - shame on you.
Shoot at me twice - shame on me.

And Obama's first response will be to replace the Crew to make it more diverse.
