Did the the camel gain a single stalk when the Vincennes crossed into Iranian territory and shot down a passenger jet?
- sigwinch 10mo agoYes. Of course. It ended the tanker war. Iraq and Iran had been pissant slap-fighting over oil tankers for years. The tanker war ended with the Vincennes incident.
- Fluorescence 10mo agoA "straw on the camel's back" would mean the war crime earned negative domestic political repercussions. "Ending the Tanker War" is clearly not that. It was the deployment's objective so I fear there are ghouls who would celebrate it.
