Take a look at the tanker-like warship the US has used as a floating Navy SEAL base

USS Lewis B. Puller is an expeditionary sea base stationed in the Arabian Sea.

Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed they hit the Puller on January 29, but US officials denied it.

Last month, two Navy SEALs died during a boarding operation that originated from the Puller.

USS Lewis B. Puller is an expeditionary sea base designed to support a wide variety of military operations, including those involving Navy SEALs.

The floating base is deployed to the Arabian Sea in response to ongoing attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea by Houthi rebels, an Iranian-backed militant group in Yemen.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Bragging about hitting a ship loaded with SEALS could be very hazardous to the health of the people making the claim. :yowsa:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I remember when the identities of the SEALs were known only to a few, and something like this even paints a target on the back of some of the very best warriors we have.  Why not just put up one of those fancy lighted billboards for our enemies to aim at?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
