Interesting development….
(Via Wall Street Journal) – The U.S. military has selected roughly 2,000 troops to prepare for a potential deployment to support Israel, U.S. defense officials said.
The troops are tasked with missions like advising and medical support, the officials said, and they are from across the U.S. armed services. They aren’t intended to serve in a combat role, the officials said. No infantry have been put on prepare-to-deploy order.
The troops are currently stationed both inside the Middle East and outside, including Europe, the officials said. It isn’t clear under what circumstances the U.S. could deploy the troops or to where, but the Pentagon decision signaled it is preparing to support Israeli troops should Israel launch a ground incursion into Gaza.
It is unclear how many of those troops, should they be deployed, would go into Israel. But the officials said that at least some of them could enter the country to support Israeli forces. A predeployment order doesn’t mean the troops will certainly deploy but rather shortens the time troops need to be ready to move. (more)
Joshua 1:9 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Forget the noise.
Always pray for our troops.
Here we go again! We are going to be “inserted” against our will by this worthless idiot in the White House into another world war. The left, and the globalists have been trying to do this for years now. NO! NO! NOT AGAIN!! We can help without being there. This is only one of the reasons we need Trump back in office.
A) You’re right, we have no business getting involved in that, it’s a complicated mess where there are no easy solutions.
B) We cannot ‘advise’ the Israeli army on Hamas, the ISRAELIs are the experts, and their tech level is at least equal to ours.
C) This will get us tagged as ‘Pro Israel’ by the rest of the world that thinks Israel’s hands are themselves not clean. Our diplomacy under this Regime has gone to hell, we are perceived by the rest of the world as the worst sort of bullies, this will make a bad situation worse. We already have BRICS accumulating people who have had enough, this will make it worse.
D) EVERYTHING related to the military this regime has attempted has blown up in our faces. The news conveniently turned away from Ukraine as now that adventure is going the way of our Afghanistan Pullout. Plus we’ve emptied our armories for Ukraine, and have taken the edge off our forces with woke nonsense. The only thing this adventure will result in is body bags and even worse recruiting. They want to bring back the draft to make up for this, mark my words.
E) This is about the Military Industrial Complex. Time we started to say “No, not this war.”
Never again a draft unless for the border of the USA which they could care less about and have destroyed.
It’s completely nuts, and very similar to Vietnam where we started out with military advisors….
It’s Deja Vu all over again, Yogi Berra.
You are going to hear court marshals are way up in unbelievable numbers
Huh? Why?
It is my hope that the interloper has not put ridiculous ROE on these men. Their adversaries will have no ROE to deal with as they confront our soldiers.
We always have ROE more akin to get out there and draw fire.
Yes, Gem, the USA has crazy rules of engagement. Think about it, the Gazans already were told to evacuate. Anyone still there should be assumed to be combatants.
No need to waste time and get your troops killed while they try to judge.
Besides, think about Numbers 21 or Duet 3 or other Bible chapters in the Law where wars happened. You see peoples like Og’s wiped out, even their children. And it’s not just warfare matters needing to be addressed here, this paper explains much more https://www.thepathoftruth.com/on-israel-and-the-jews-at-this-time-october-10-2023.htm
–In the first 20 minutes of this video, Max Blumenthal (yes, Sid’s son) does a marvelous 20 minute summary of why Gaza has descended into nihilism and suicidal despair. Starting at 23:31 he also lays bare the malign influence of the Israeli lobby that has corrupted US foreign policy in the region. Whose interests are our diplomats truly pursuing? I really recommend listening to the whole thing. Blumenthal has an obviously encyclopedic knowledge and some very interesting insights into Canada’s recent embarrassment in honoring a Waffen SS figure in parliament:
No combat role advisors in a war zone? Sounds like a combat Bronze Star for valor to JAG officers Beau Biden and Ron DeSantis. Maybe Lindsey can deploy in his “reservist” role for a medal too–he is also a JAG officer.
My son in law was called in the other day.
He’s an army ranger, we’re not allowed any information from him.
I’m hoping they don’t deploy these kids.
They’ve seen enough death and destruction already.
Prayers being lifted up for you and your family Patrick.
My humble prayers to the almighty for the men and their families
Pray for those 2k people who are stepping into harm’s way. And by that, I mean the potential for false flag ops that would be intended to rally the general public. Sad that I do not have any doubt that our gov would kill our own for that reason, but here we are.
HOW MANY WARS is Biden going to get us into? This IMBECILE is destroying America and the world. His attempts to start WW3 are astounding.
You misspelled obummer
American leadership at State and Defense and even the CIA have long understood to NEVER put American boots on the ground in Israel against Islamic Fundamentalists or territory fights.
Now anything goes to try and keep Biden, Obama and friends from seeing the criminal courts they belong in.
America is completely exposed by these creeps and the RNC is nodding approval.
I remember Vietnam started just like this…. “A few advisers ”
I smell obummer and it stinks. I feel bad for our troops and their families.
Advise the Israelis on DEI crap. Sure
Equally important to not sending 2,000 troops is not sending $10 to $100 billion on top of the $3.5 billion in regular aid, as well as the billions to Ukraine. C’mon treepers. Spread the message far and wide. No new aid until the US citizenry is taken care of, especially senior who need healthcare, prescription drugs at reasonable prices, vision and dental care, along with housing.
