This week, U.S. Navy ships have been under attack. Most people don’t know there’s a civil war going on in Yemen, but the American sailors aboard the USS Nitze definitely know.
Over the last several days, they’ve had missiles fired at them by the so-called Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran and trying to take control of Yemen. They’ve shot missiles at the USS Nitze, the USS Mason, and the Swift-2.
But the commander of the guided missile destroyer Nitze decided enough was enough, and he’s fighting back!
Watch as the Nitze fires back at the rebels and destroys their radar sites!
It’s a little hard to see, but the Navy released this video of the Nitze firing Tomahawk guided missiles. Awesome!
Even in the age of Barack Obama, our military is the best and most powerful the world has ever known, and it’s filled with patriots who will defend America and our sailors no matter what. It’s also a good reminder of how technologically advanced our weapons are – the whole world knows that, no matter where they are, if they attack America, they are not safe.
Please say a prayer for the brave men and women of the U.S. Navy as they deal with ongoing threats abroad!
