They damaged five US tankers in SA via drone attack. That plus the two lost from inventory in the midair will constitute a significant degradation tanker capacity, and therefore strike capacity until replaced or repaired.

At least it was the KC-135’s and not the E-3. 5 isn’t even a percentage of tanker capacity, so it should be pretty short term.

You're kidding right?
Since when is not wanting to get into another middle east conflict "cheering for the Iran team"?

Since when is holding the guy that said "no more pointless wars" accountable to his words "cheering for the Iran team?

Rick, that first sentence is really out of line.

What an awful thing to accuse us of. You should be ashamed.

If you self identify as someone cheering for the Iran team you have every right to feel offended. If you don’t so self-identify, then it is clearly not applicable to you and you shouldn’t feel offended.

Nonetheless Rick, not the sort of gratuitous comment designed to lower the temperature of the thread.

Not one single person on this thread has implied support for Iran. Not one. To say what he said, clearly addressing those of us who do not support the war, is unnecessarily incendiary.
