| 2015-05-07 |
| [Ynet] The US Navy has stopped accompanying fat merchantmen through the Strait of Hormuz, a mission it began last week in the wake of Iran's seizure of a cargo ship, the Pentagon said on Wednesday. Colonel Steve Warren, a Pentagon front man, said the decision was taken after several days of accompanying US and British fat merchantmen without incident. He stressed that US Navy ships in the area would still conduct routine maritime security operations. |

| #3 Somebody pointed out to Champ that, in the event of gunfire exchange, a war is pretty much a forgone conclusion. |
