Unless the US military is stupid to keep all 100 of them in a single easily bombable location, there’s no fucking way on this green earth a single one of them will die in any combat, especially if they are simply manning air defense outposts spread across the country like what the article that no one here reads actually said.
Even funner fact: anyone remember the USS Liberty? A common thought is Israel did that to pull us into their war then. Nowadays you would have a presidential candidate boldly declaring that [insert ‘vile’ country of choice] killed our troops and we must rush to war against them. I bet there are israeli leaders just salivating at the idea of repeating the scenario.
Nah, they didn’t want us seeing what they were doing. They weren’t going to pull us into their war by being the ones to hit our ship. Now? with this though? Absolutely. They want to pull us in until we’re too far to back out without the next president spending all of their political capital on day one. We’re about to see the real danger of a lame duck presidency and the GOP will never let us forget it afterward. Even if they’re the ones beating the drums now.
