    The argument for escorting aid in is because Israel will attack it… So what is the logical outcome of Israel attacking a US guarded convoy?

    We are not going to put our people in that situation.

      That still wouldn’t be a military action against Israel, and no American troops would be in Israel territory.

      What you’re saying is that Israel would view preventing their genocide against Palestinians as an attack on them and then be “forced” to attack the US troops…

      Israel would have to decide if they want to attack US military members to stop aid.

      I’m not talking about hiding one soldier in a crate for a “gotcha”. I mean a loud and proud military escort of aid. Something that is 100% normal regardless of it’s a war zone or not.

      I’ve spent 6 months of my life doing exactly this, lots more doing other stuff in the military.

      I know what I’m talking about.

      Not to mention, by your logic that would make Bidens plan to build a single pier over two months a military action as well…
