If the US is refilling Israel's Iron Dome with missiles then US is absolutely involved.

Listen, the US offered intelligence from its unrivaled intelligence apparatus, had USAF planes in the air supporting the IAF, the US president gave a thumbs up for the operation, and maybe the US gave material support... but to say the US is directly involved is a stretch. Iran, our door's open if you want to talk.

What isn't expected, though historical precedent shows that it should be, is an allied country killing US soldiers/civilians

That's not a honest answer though because there are instances of allied countries such as Canada and the UK killing American soldiers and it being sorted out with compensation/apologies. In those cases it's arguably worse because they had more advanced technology and should have known the soldiers were there. Why are those cases dismissed and this case singled out? The military aid argument doesnt work because the USS Stark had more severe consequences to the careers of the soldiers and US was arming Iraq at the time.

To be fair its closer to 500,000 active.
And only a fraction of that are combat troops.

On the other hand, Iraq and Afghanistan were both running at the same time and the US didn't even need to pull back its troops from Korea or Germany, much less institute a draft.

Active isn't a stranglehold really considering most of what we do is simply bombing shit after all. We use the ground pounders to just occupy shit afterwards. Only a fraction of any military is combat arms. You need roughly five support supply personnel for every infantryman on average.

Since the tiny hat big nose people are in the news:

It is your dedication to the bit of being pro-American in every matter except those involving Isreal, in which case you pilpul anyone with a passingly positive view of Jews (I quite like the American garden variety Jew), until it becomes a negative view of Jews. YHVH forbid legitimate criticsm of Isreal.

It is plainly apparent that you value Isreal's interests over America's, and every time you pretend otherwise is transparently silly make-believe.

If your bit was gay instead of jewish you would have been laughed off the thread by now; you are redeemed only by your informative takes on matters of Isreal, and even then only when it's neutral information.

the only thing America should do right now is ignore the Middle East, Israel doesn't deserve support, Israel promotes Faggotry in America and yet theres still morons in Congress that believe in some sort of Christian-Jewish alliance

I'm probably one of relatively few people as far right as I am with a neutral/positive view of Jewish people. There's a lot of good traits Christians and Jews share and I think we could learn from each-other. Jews have an envious racial in-preference that whites could very well emulate, as do they have an industriousness in matters of earthly possession (e.g. money) and materially improving their own lives that many Christians simply do not, seeing as they will be rewarded in the next life.

I think that Christians and Jews could both cool it with the persecution complex and cooperate work on rebuilding a productive, high trust society again, that would be nice.

I'm starting to wonder if the way so many boomers and such tense up and tip toe around the topic has less to do with a fear about getting canceled/labeled anti semetic, and more to do with them having realized the topic brings out the gayest traits in everyone and turns all conversations retarded.
