Hellooo...Israel is right next to Egypt and like it or not...the Egyptian military has been a defense for Israel in that region.
BTW, the Egyptian Army is THE only stabalizing force in Egypt now and demolishing the Muslim Brotherhood while they are at it...And you don’t want to back them???Duh.
380 miles by plane. I would not call it next too but I am finding that FREEPERS are for giving aide to Egypt. A few weeks ago we were complaining about all the foreign aide being give to countries. This is why we will NEVER recover from our economic condition. Our pet projects are what is most important.
