‘Yes, I did. But the Israelis have more to fear than do the American tankers. TOWs are not a particularly good terrorist weapon, for example.’

Yes, but I’m not an Israeli. And we have troops on the ground in the ME.

The last time the Americans were on the battlefield with the Egyptians, they were fighting on the same side (first Gulf War). At that point, the American tankers were glad to see that the Egyptians had decent equipment.

I can’t see any scenario where American tanks would face the Egyptians. So the only risk would be a transfer from the Egyptians to terrorists. And as I noted, there are better weapons for terrorists to use than TOWs.
