    There are 100 more US soldiers deployed, aren’t there? I’m not a US citizen, but I still wonder why more troops are needed to help Israel in an war of aggression that violates international law.

      Yes it’s an anti-missle battery and a crew of 100 to operate it. Presumably this includes 7-day around the clock shift coverage so it sounds like a reasonable number for a large missle array.

      Lol,maybe because Hezbollah rockets are getting launched and we’d like to shoot them down before US personnel are killed potentially escalating this even further?

        So we’re sending more personal instead of getting them out of the situation? Gymnastics.

        Let the rockets rain down and stop this madness before the fascist state of Israel kills us all.

        Do Americans really believe they’ll be able to get their pet monster under control once they genocide the entire Middle East?

        “Greater Israel” is just going to keep expanding unless they’re stopped now. Do you think Nazi Germany would just say “ok we have enough land for the master race / chosen people let’s stop now”.

        Do you really think America will have any power once it gets to that point?

        The world let Zionists get away with the Nakba at the time because of the Holocaust, but now the Zionists and the United States are the ones doing a Holocaust.

        Israel is a failure of humanity and an affront to Jewish people everywhere, hijacking the religion in order to build a white supremacist, genocidal, settler-colonial apartheid ethnostate with a Star of David slapped on it.

        Israel must now be dismantled, land back to the Palestinians, the architects of this Holocaust brought to justice, and the people deprogrammed out of their genocidal cult.

          I don’t think any Americans who truly support this think further than the next quarter of Raytheon profits.

        Gtfo. If you need to play wargames maybe send some more support to Ukraine instead.

        Who is “we”?

        Maybe I’d have some sympathy for you if y’all stop with the genocide, terrorism, ethnic cleansing, land theft, invasions, etc.
