Nice Days

This war has happened before.

1988. An Iranian frigate commander has a habit. He boards merchant ships, inspects their papers, takes lunch with the captain, and as his boat pulls away, he puts three rounds through the crew quarters and signs off on the radio with the same phrase every time.

Have a nice day.

He is the first man in the US Navy who has put it together, and the rules of engagement will not let him touch the man who is doing it.
