Biden sends US troops to Israel weeks ahead of election

Military expert at Defense Priorities, Daniel Davis, says placing American troops in harm’s way carries significant risk. “Naturally, if Americans are killed in the execution of their duties, there will be howls from the pro-war hawks in the West ‘demanding’ the president ‘protect our troops’ by firing back on Iran,” he said, adding,“if he wants to protect our service members, then don’t put them into someone else’s war. This is exactly the sort of thing that gets nations sucked into war they have no interest in fighting.”
