Will we get dragged into this by INTENTIONALLY putting ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time?

As the Israeli offensive in Lebanon expands to include ground incursions & airstrikes, Pentagon officials discussed whether the U. S. military presence is containing a widening war or inflaming it.

In the 12 months since Hamas attacked Israel, launching a conflict that includes Yemen, Iran & Lebanon, the Pentagon has sent a bristling array of weaponry to the region, including aircraft carriers, guided missile destroyers, amphibious assault ships and fighter squadrons.

The Pentagon announced this week that it would add a “few thousand” more troops and essentially doubled its air power in the region.

President Biden says the U. S. hardware and extra troops are there to help defend Israel and to protect other American troops on bases throughout the region. Pentagon spox said they remained “focused on the protection of U. S. citizens and forces in the region, the defense of Israel and the de-escalation of the situation through deterrence and diplomacy.”

But several Pentagon officials expressed concern that Israel was waging an increasingly aggressive campaign against the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful proxy, knowing that an armada of American warships and dozens of attack planes stand ready to help blunt any Iranian response.

“Right now, there’s enough posture in the region that if the Iranians step in, we can and would support Israel’s defense,”. The Pentagon’s top official said, “If you’re Israel and you’re a military planner, you want to do all that while US assets are in the region, not after it leaves.”

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has raised the issue in mtngs at the Pentagon & at the White House. He also questioned the effect of the expanded US presence in the region on combat “readiness,” the ability of the US military to respond quickly to conflicts w/ China & Russia.

This article is from 2021 but still relevant today. Approximately 94,000 veterans do not have U. S. citizenship, leaving them vulnerable to deportation if they violate certain laws - even misdemeanors decades ago - regardless of their service record. Many of you may not be aware that non-citizens can serve in the US military and have done so honorably since 1776. Many historians agree that were it not for Polish, Prussian, French and other nationalities fighting in the American Revolution, it's highly unlikely that it would have been successful.
IMHO Clinton, Bush, Obama & Trump should be ashamed of themselves for all time. The film is no longer a available unfortunately. While liberals and conservatives don't agree on much these days, I'd like to think that on this issue they would make common cause. What does this say about us USA Americans?

This is the current bill (that will be expiring in a month with no guarantee of being introduced next Congress) that has had no action (or co-sponsors) since being introduced into committee by a military disabled veteran senator:
