Desert Storm (Kuwait), Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan),Southern Watch, Iraqi Freedom. From build up and after mutiple times in between. No purple heart but have been shot at and have a device for valor. Never returned fire but continued to do my job under fire. Every time prior to a major offensive for weeks leaflets were dropped continuously warning of impending military operations. That action in itself put US forces in a higher level of danger. That's a clear indication of separation good from evil. Yes I know special ops operate under cover but in general we wear a clear uniform distinguishing our soldiers from civilians. This is a very important point for innocent people on both ends of the conflict. Again that's what separates.
Obviously not involved in WWII or Vietnam but I have the utmost respect for those guys. Also not a major history freak but from what I know operation linebacker 1, linebacker 2 and the TET offensive was a staged effort in Vietnam beginning at the lowest level to achieve desired results withy the lowest casulties (a slow squeeze)? That approach resulted in massive harm over a longer period of time. As bad as the atom bomb was I believe it was used to decisively bring Japan to end the war and it did. Who knows how long and how many more lives would have been lost if not used? Two different methods but both methods were used as a means to an end.
Israeli forces wear a uniform, I have seen video of Israel dropping thousands of leaflets and have been issuing continuous warning to get out of the region. From the videos I have seen the terrorists from Hamas can't be distinguished for a civilian. Terrorist organizations use small measured strikes so as not to gather attention, withdrawl and continue the cycle until drawing a responce then use dirty propaganda tactics using media sources after they shield targets with human bodies. It's a clear difference.

Sadly it's as predicted all those years ago. These events have little to do with land.

Mitchell describes the day he was questioning Khalid Sheik Mohammed, when the 9/11 mastermind announced he had something important to say.
"KSM explained that large-scale attacks such as 9/11 were “nice, but not necessary” and that a series of “low-tech attacks could bring down America the same way ‘enough disease-infected fleas can fell an elephant.’ ” KSM “said jihadi-minded brothers would immigrate into the United States” and “wrap themselves in America’s rights and laws” until they were strong enough to rise up and attack us. “He said the brothers would relentlessly continue their attacks and the American people would eventually become so tired, so frightened, and so weary of war that they would just want it to end.”
“Eventually,” KSM said, “America will expose her neck for us to slaughter.”
KSM was right. For the past eight years, our leaders have told us that we are weary of war and need to focus on “nation building at home.” We have been defeating ourselves by quitting — just as KSM predicted.
But quitting will not bring us peace, KSM told Mitchell. He explained that “it does not matter that we do not want to fight them,” Mitchell writes, adding that KSM explained “America may not be in a religious war with him, but he and other True Muslims are in a religious war with America” and “he and his brothers will not stop until the entire world lives under Sharia law.”

Interesting choice of words by a CNN reporter. She referred to a child kidnapped by Hamas as " in the custody of Hamas". As if Hamas has some custody interest in the Jewish child they kidnapped.

HMMMMM? Wonder what would happen if you injured a Federale illegally crossing into Mexico ???? Somehow I doubt it would be sitting down for a … -
did the Jews take Israel from Palestinians? - - - - NO!
If anything the opposite is true
"it is clear that Jews preceded both Arabs and Muslims in Palestine by 2600 years if measured from the time of Abraham or by at least 1600 years if measured from the establishment of Kingdom of Israel."

We now have two carrier groups in the Mediterranean sea and a handful of fighter squadrons. I'm not saying right or wrong, it's a difficult call on upper levels. A line in the sand has been put in place before. What if Hezbollah decides to take action (and i think they will)? Or willing to take action to draw us in. West Bank? Syria, Iran?
China and others are watching closely.
