And it's been out there for a couple of weeks.

And there's not been any attacks from the Iranians.

So if they've got ballistic missiles and they wanted to get off a cheap shot and hurt the United States of America, I think they would have tried it.

And we already know that they've tried to get a drone out there and a drone was shot down.

So that's already happened.

And who knows, the USS Bush is finishing up her inter-deployment training cycle and is suspected to get her blue water certification here in the next few weeks, which can be accelerated.

We may see a third aircraft carrier come out there.

So that can't be taken off the table either.

That history has shown that that's been a pattern.

However, I think President Trump has also shown that he's somebody that breaks patterns and has the ability to say, okay, I got what I wanted.

The Iranian regime has left and the people of Iran are taking their country back.

If that were to happen, then I could see him making a decision to do that.

And Iranians have been involved with killing Americans separate from these disputes with individual nations, just open hatred against America.

So we have a scorecard ourselves as Americans.

And I know in my time in service, I went

I was focused on the Pacific, but I made deployments out to the Persian Gulf in my career.
