My comment had nothing to do with what you are talking about. You placed my comment in that context and I did not comment re what you indicate. I merely made an observation. You do know what an independent observation is don't you? That is what I made.

And to answer your question, the US Military should NEVER be put under control of any nation or organization (such as the UN) for any reason. I don't care if a buck sergeant has to be in charge of the division, no one but our people. Other countries doe not know how our people are trained and they do not train their lower ranking people to take charge like we do. That was a big problem for the Reds in the cold war era as only the officers had the authority and training to make decisions.

thank you for acknowledging the importance of the supremacy of US military officers on any battlefield. Some in this thread began to claim that Israel had a right to request those communications channels and codes from our forces in order to protect Israeli interests.

I support the US assisting in defending Israel's people. I don't even reject the idea of Israel responding to an attack... that's all rubbish by the putzheads in the thread... my point was exactly yours... the US military should be the supreme and commanding presence on any battlefield. Any other nations who are on the field should either be under our command or they should be the enemy.
