The supremely naive part of me hopes we send troops because Israel is unfortunately a cutout of Europe circa 1930’s and our soldiers, as bad as they are, would still be having to gun down Palestinians who are also Christian like themselves, sending back stories about just how awful Israel really is…but what am I saying? Our troops would do it anyway, and even conscientious (wow, I spelt that right the first time) objectors would still do their jobs and still send back the stories, but literally nothing would change; we’d only hear 20 years from now about how maybe supporting Israel during that specific incident had been a mistake.
“This shoot and cry boot movie doesn’t condone atrocities, but nothing could be done about chuds citing the shoot and cry boot movie for why they enlisted to commit atrocities. They would have been inspired by another shoot and cry boot movie so the answer is more shoot and cry boot movies if I might enjoy them too.”
Yeah the idea that soldiers wouldn’t do as ordered isn’t even worth entertaining, no offense or whatever (you already agree with me anyway based on what you typed after). That pretty much goes for all soldiers.
Not trying to be cynical or whatever, but militaries are generally composed of young, mostly men, and ones who had at least some notion of nationalism enough to agree to join, especially, obviously, in non-conscription militaries like the US. So, my point is, you give basically any nationalistic minded young man a gun or put in charge of some sort of murder machine and tell them “that’s the bad guy. Go do the thing.” And they see there have been effectively no consequences for decades for others just wantonly murdering… it’s a recipe for “yeah, they’re gonna murder.”
That’s why it’s important to do whatever we can to keep the ghouls in the media and in Washington from ever putting them in the position to do the murdering. And also keep weapons from going over there. Obviously we have limited, nearly zero, say in the process, but I think people are kind of slowly moving towards “stop killing people” since it’s all sort of out in the open now days.

You’d get movies 10 years down the line about how Private Dick was very sad when came the time to gun down children
