Any Navy vets care to weigh in on wtf is happening in the Red Sea?
Not Navy but Army.
It's cost effectiveness, combined with the fact that muslims don't care about their own lives.
It costs a tiny fraction to attack of what it costs to defend and counter attack. The Navy's battle doctrine assumes air superiority, but worse assumes infinite resources.
Don't forget that Biden can't will reelection if oil prices spike before the election. Expect the US military to be a giant bitch for the next 6 months (at least).
