I recall watching an interview with a Vietnam veteran who was wounded in battle. As he lay on the battlefield, he remembers thinking to himself, "Why am I here? Stop communism? I can't even define it."

This is another crap show. There is no difference. If the US is attacked directly I am all for doing whatever it takes to get even. But not other foreign countries thousands of miles away. I am a Libertarian that has been my opinion for decades. And all the crap shows as you call them prove my point. On top of putting Americans in harms way there is blow back as Ron Paul says. You end up being a target. You put more Americans in harms way because terrorists will target us. But you are fine with that, why? Why is this different? Russia did all sorts of unspeakable things to Ukrainian citizens. 130,000 causalities in Ukraine in their war with Russia. Way worse than what has happened to Israel. Why is this different?
Because many Americans don't care about Ukraine, but the US has stronger ties with Israel since we're a Christian nation and it's the Holy Land.

Yes, and then we should consider turning Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, and and Yemen into glass parking lots.

And that is the ONLY time we should begin to fight. When it's brought to our doorstep.

Think of it this way, only because of pressure because people are seeing the real far left ideology with the pro Palestine rallies which most Democrats support but it is making them look bad, at least Democrats in position of power and influence, only because of that Biden is trying damage control by offering troops and we know what his party thinks of them how they did in A-stan withdrawl and checked his watch as dead was being unloaded.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME the Dem party is saying bring over 1000's of Palestians HERE as refugees, who will be just as violent here as they are there, AND no doubt offer them free healthcare, free housing, free schools when in fact the U.S government is broke, it doesn't have the money now to cover expenses it is spending more than it takes in ALREADY.


What kind of politician and party would do that? well the kind that hates it's nation and wants to break it even more.

By parachute, with no warning, with military armaments. I'm still processing it, and outrage doesn't even describe my feelings. I honestly wish I weren't so old, or I'd go over there to help kill those bastards.

How many of the 2,000 are going to be pro-Palestine and end up fighting for the enemy?
