    I’ve said since the beginning that they should put one us soldier on each truck and roll on.

    The fuckers are stupid, but not that stupid

      Not a bad idea, but you’d be relying on the IDF and Hamas not to fuck it up. The odds of a fuck-up increases exponentially with every idiot you add to a situation.

        We can call up almost a third of Israel’s total population into active military service with minimal problems.

        No recruiting drives, no drafts, that is just in our already active and reserves.

        We probably have more special services members who cut their teeth on war in the desert and urban areas than Hamas had at their full strength in ordinary soldiers.

        We have spy satellites that can practically, and in all likelihood actually can, read the text off pages.

        We got so good at making super bombs that we got bored and said “Hold my Beer” and then stuck some fucking swords on a missile just to show off.

        The US Military is basically the real life version of r/HFY.

        It would take a special kind of stupid to start some shit when we are handing out food and trying to appease both sides of the political spectrum, and just give the US a legit reason to fuck around for Real Real in the Middle East again.

      Are you kidding me? The IDF is committing a genocide that will ensure Israelis are unsafe for decades to come, they literally could not be acting in a more stupid fashion.

      They absolutely are that stupid.

      Also I find it hilarious y’all think that conservatives in the US would actually genuinely care if someone they had decided was an ally (Netanyahu) killed US servicemen. Conservatives don’t actually give a flying fuck about the lives of US soldiers like they don’t actually give a fuck about the lives of US children.

      Conservatives would absolutely sit there and take it if Netanyahu killed US soldiers. Maybe the left would immediately push for military action but it would be fighting against a bunch of spineless cowards because Netanyahu would just blame it on Biden and Conservatives would 10000000% run with that narrative no matter what the reality was.
