IRAN: Pay them back

Thank you for publishing the Readers Write section. I always enjoy it. Here is my 2 cents worth:

I served a hitch in the U.S. Navy from 1955-62. I was proud to serve and it was a valuable, good times experience in my life.

When I saw our sailors being held at gunpoint by the Iranians, it raised my hackles, to say the least.

During my service time I met sailors from other countries and there was always mutual friendly camaraderie regardless of rank. In retaliation for the disrespectful and dangerous treatment of our sailors by the Iranians, if I had the authority I would deport 10,000 Iranians who are here illegally. Maybe 100,000. Big Time.
