CENTCOM Drops Precision Bombs Down Smokestacks Of 2 Tankers Running Blockade
By Staff Writer

U.S. forces disabled two Iranian tankers, Sea Star III and Sevda, after the vessels attempted to breach the American naval blockade and enter an Iranian port.

According to the U.S. military, an F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet launched from the USS George H.W. Bush conducted precision strikes on the smokestacks of both tankers, leaving them unable to proceed to Iran.

Must be fun for those jet pilots doing the real thing instead of all those thousands of classroom simulations.

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.

C S Lewis
