    I am a retired U.S. Navy Sailor, and I do not agree getting involved in all this horse sh*t, but I certainly do not agree with putting our soldiers and sailors in harms way, BY CONTINUOUSLY ANNOUNCING OUR PLANS AND INTENTIONS!! Our politicians, dept. of defense, and the media make me sick!
  • @glorfac
    How about we let Israel deal with the consequences for their actions..
  • @alexglanz7406
    We owe Israel nothing. US Syrian occupation forces increased. Iraqi occupation forces are increasing, not leaving. Tax dollars for what?????????????
  • @okthennone
    I'm sure there has been multiple submarines in the area for many months.
  • @29battles10
    It’s not our war…. We need our tax dollars for our citizens
  • Let Israel take care of it why are we responsible for other nations problems Im sick of it
  • I find it odd that we basically take orders from a country that could not exist without us. 🤔🤔
  • @fredsuccess
    So the retaliation is against Israel or the US?
  • Still not sure when Israel became US soil... Remember the USS Liberty.
