March 11, 2026, the American aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Ford was disabled and had to withdraw from its post to 200 miles away from combat by a $2,000 Iranian drone, which flew over the water at an altitude for 15 feet, evading the carrier's radar, then jumped up the the flight deck where sailors where refueling an airplane and exploded.
Thus a $13 billion dollar weapon was disabled by a $20,000 drone.

Pete Hegseth keeps telling us we are bombing them back to the Stone Age, and the Pentagon is releasing videos showing us playing a video game with Iran, but Mad Dog remembers the war in Vietnam where the U.S. had air supremacy over Hanoi and the whole of both Vietnams, north and south and it didn't matter a damn. The North Vietnamese still beat the U.S., and United the country.
Images of LBJ, standing on the bridge of an American carrier watching the launch of American jets which pummeled targets in Vietnam, dropped napalm, roared louder than lions, all without any effect to win the war.
Crowds cheered as cavalry rode off to fight in the First World War, looking fearsome and proud. But machine guns, barbed wire, trenches and tanks ultimately rendered those horse mounted warriors ridiculous.
Iranian drones may be making American jets and surface ships look impotent and ridiculous.
The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong had multi-leveled tunnels with hospitals and HVAC built in concentric circles around Saigon. None of them were the least bit impeded by those jets roaring over LBJ's head.
Americans: We make a lot of noise, build expensive machines, but we haven't won a lot of wars lately against really smart determined enemies--not in Afghanistan, not in Vietnam and not, apparently, in Iran.
