If Iran takes military action directly against Israel, the US public seems to feel it has less skin in the game than in previous years. The 2024 Chicago Council Survey, conducted June 21–July 1, 2024, finds a majority of Americans are now opposed to using US troops to defend Israel if it is attacked.
An overall 42 percent of the US public would favor using US troops to defend Israel if it were attached by Iran (56% oppose). While a slim majority of Republicans would favor US forces defending Israel in this scenario (53%), only four in 10 Independents (42%) and third of Democrats (34%) agree.
The unrelenting Israeli attacks against Gaza have likely dampened American willingness to defend Israel, especially among Democrats. In addition, the narrow majority that previously supported using US troops to defend Israel if attacked by a neighboring country has now dissipated to 41 percent (55% oppose). Here too, Republicans are more likely than other partisans to favor using US troops (55%), but at much lower levels than 2015 through 2021 readings. A third of Independents (35%) and Democrats (35%) would favor using US troops to defend Israel if its neighbors attacked, also lower than previous levels.
The one instance presented to Americans where a majority (54%) would still favor using US troops is in a peacekeeping scenario if Israel and the Palestinians reached a peace agreement. Democrats (62%) are most willing of all the partisans to use US troops in a peacekeeping manner, consistent with previous polling. About half of Independents (51%) and Republicans (48%) agree.

What about our air and naval assets? We don’t need to send any troops.

Interesting. No mention of who started things. If someone didn’t know any better, from that line he’d think Israel attacked Gaza just for the hell of it.
Likely because we have had several successive generations of folks that are afraid of fighting. Sad.
We are committed to weaving DE&I throughout the fabric of the Council, and we believe people — their identities, experiences, beliefs, knowledge, and ideas — are critical to our success and to global affairs. We still have a long way to go, and our commitment to the journey is real and resolute.From the About Us page of the CCGA.
This shows just what a big bunch of azho the brats living in this country have become. We let Joe Pedo import way too much garbage and sewage.
This is why America is missing from the Bible.
The question may be part of the spinning of this matter.
Its beyond obvious that US naval and air assets will be used in defense of Israel to lessen the damage to Israel so it does not feel the need to retaliate against Iran directly.
Everybody is against war and nobody wants one, but if happens it happens. So far, the Iranians are full of sh*t... I do believe they’re trying to figure out whether or not there’s a bomb under their butts ready to blow them all to hell, and all the Israeli’s need to do is push a button.
A majority of Democrats are now in favor of using US troops to attack Israel if Israel is attacked.
Americans have been bled white for the Forever War and you keep banging the drum for us to sacrifice ourselves to the despicable, parasitic MIC.
America has a volunteer army so volunteer if you are so gung-ho.

This is why the Bible is missing from America and elsewhere.
I do believe they’re trying to figure out whether or not there’s a bomb under their butts ready to blow them all to hell, and all the Israeli’s need to do is push a button.

Your post reminds me of McVeigh and the OK City bombing. McVeigh used a Uhaul truck to deliver his fertilizer bomb. The ever resourceful Jews could use a Uhaul truck to deliver a nuke to Khamanei’s front door. Boom!
“Peace and Security”
I agree. Israel can Handel itself.
Majority of Americans could not find Israel or Iran on a map.
Majority of Americans could not tell what the big picture motivation is for Israel or Iran.
Lets send all the refugees in the west that Israel has pushed here for decades to go fight for Israel

I would like everyone willing to sacrifice your son (or daughter) to die in some Middle East crap hole for Israel please raise your hand. I am emphatically not willing to. News flash: aircraft can be shot down and ships can be hit for all you “just use air and Naval power people”.
