  • In case people aren’t clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren’t infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

    Don’t be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel’s ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.
