I am pretty sure Israel will have no problem taking care of it all by themselves should they want to do so.

There is no reason for us to be involved.

OK, it looks like the complement on an Arleigh Burke class destroyer is 380.

Sadly, it appears that our government can’t stand to not be involved in practically every hot zone in the world. I wish they showed the same passion for defending the borders of this country.

what’s the mission?

A tripwire is needed for the massive escalation the war-nuts want to get started.

Perfectly Normal:
It is entirely standard to instruct units to be ready; this is referred to as taking proactive action.

What is not normal is for the press to be made aware of this. Could be fake news. If not, I hope it is not.

The Roman and British empires were the same way. No restraint. Gotta be everywhere, all the time. And we all know how that turned out.

No declaration of war but sending our boys.

Hard no.

As usual, the mission is for the US to fight Israel’s wars.

What a fiasco going to war in the Middle East under this WH will be. Our soldiers lives mean nothing to these tyrants. This WH seems very friendly with Iran.

Why do I have a feeling these troops will be used to facilitate importing as many “refugees” as possible?
