Didn’t we have technology that traces the launch and the command and control and fires back? 1 mile is kinda close, meant othe things didn’t work or engaged?

That works at artillery ranges.  When talking long range missiles, the TEL can move before your return shot reaches it.

What do you expect with Lloyd in charge?

He's so useless that he can disappear for days in the middle of the worst mess in the Middle East since 1973 and nobody seemed to notice he was missing.

the war kicked off several years ago but wasn't "hot" at the time. Now each side is poking and prodding the other out getting a sense of capabilities.
I don't see this de-escalating no matter who wins this fall.

Not a fan of Lloyd, but if a strategic level leader can’t disappear for a few days without things going off the rails he’s doing something wrong.

That is the raison d’etre for the prompt strike program.

Yep....  only a matter of time before they get a direct hit on one of our ships.    Only a matter of time before another strike on a ground site kills our guys.

This incompetent administration (Obama 2.0) is even worse than than the first BHO.

Don't waste the fuel with a B-52...this would be a proper and economical response to the Yemen problem.

The missiles accuracy or precision doesn’t determine the use of CIWS.

The DDG or whatever it was probably fired its own missile which missed causing them to use CIWS.

Every attack is an opportunity to gather sigint and refine their platforms to obtain a hit.

Every delay in smashing the source of the attack is aid and comfort.

Those are contradictory statements, accurate Standard or Evolved Sea Sparrow usage would result in a downed inbound and the Mk15 would not have fired.

I'm a mud-fucking grunt and if you give me 31 shots with damned near any weapons platform, I'll start scoring hits eventually.
