There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build we in our shipyard build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.
Might cost some lives. And it was rejected because you can’t have Americans killing Americans. That’s the kind of that’s the level of stuff we’re talking about. Provocation. But that was rejected.
