“Don’t Give Up the Ship!”

It has been the US Navy’s mantra for two centuries.

We have had our nose bloodied. We have lost countless men and women in service. But, at the end of the day: We. Don’t. Ever. Surrender.

With the State of the Union and the State of the Commonwealth, I’ve been distracted the last couple of days. Now I’m just extraordinarily annoyed to have learned of the Iranian capture of a US Navy patrol.

As a retired Navy officer responsible for the safe navigation of our ships through the Straits of Hormuz, I know the nonsense Iran pulls and their “strategy.” But this is beyond the pale.

Enough is enough. You take one of our vessels and start pointing weapons at our Sailors heads, making them kneel? You deserve what’s coming to you.

I demand Reps. Forbes, Wittman, Scott, and Rigell stand up for our men and women overseas and insist the president respond. He is our commander-in-chief and responsible for the safety of all these men and women.

This can’t stand.

We’ve gotten our kids back, but there must be a response. Whether that’s reimposing sanctions or a Tomahawk in the middle of Tehran. Do something!

Our Navy is to be feared and respected. We keep the sea lanes open. We rescue the weak. We ensure American diplomacy is carried abroad. We ensure peace.

Mr. President – and our congressmen and senators – we’re beyond partisanship. We must preserve liberty and freedom. Please act. Please “Don’t Give Up the Ship!”
