Thanks for giving our boys some credit there at the end. You're right they aren't quite as dumb as some believe.

it is the old game of chicken with a new adversary..
The Iranians wanted us to sink a "poor innocent unarmed speed boater".

Our sailors reacted correctly.

"We regret that the advancing Iranian boats ran into the midst of an already in progress live-fire test. We did attempt to wave them off but they paid no attention and we were unable to cease fire in time to avert this tragedy. And we'd like to add THHHPPPPPTTTTT!!!! to the mullahs."
