Granted there is conflicting reports if Iran did it or not, but we know with certainty they didn't attack themselves. We are flying drones over the straight to safeguard other ships from suffering the same fate and a known enemy shoots them down and your option is "send them a bill". 

Hey we might agree on the send a bill stance, we might just disagree on the method of delivery. Personally I think a "don't shot down anymore of our shit" ultimatum should be given instead of armed conflict, but I couldn't find too much fault if we decided to a retaliatory strike. After all they threw the first stone; target is secondary. But none of this changes my original question on what do we do if this continues to happen and your answer was send a bill.   

One of the things about drones nowadays is that we have a bunch of them. It's not like the mission is totally going to halt for months, weeks, or even days. Send a new one up. Better yet, send up two, that way we can thumb our noses at them if they shoot down another. Send Iran a bill. If they don't pay, charge them reasonable interest and send them a new one.

The beauty of replacing the drone with a new one and sending them a bill is that it shows how unfazed we are by their actions. It sends the message they we are just gonna keep on rolling doing our thing and they can't stop it. That is a powerful message. Heck, let them shootdown 10 drones.
