More and more US troops deployed to West Asia are expressing doubts about fighting in the war against Iran, including having to “die for Israel,” the Huffington Post reported on 23 March.
A veteran and reservist who mentors younger officers told HuffPost that troops she speaks with are expressing a loss of faith after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu helped push US President Donald Trump to go to war against Iran.

Interviews further revealed that troops are worried about inadequate protection from Iranian ballistic missiles and drones targeting US bases in the Gulf region.
“Getting random indirect fire is not the same as watching the entire gym and coffee shop and some dorms get blown up from a door less than 50 meters away,” said one service member.
The poverty draft isn’t actually a thing. The nunber one motivator for US troops joining (statistically) is having a family member in the military. And even more damning is that the poor sections of american society are less likely to join the military than more. That’s despite the plague of recruiters sent into poor and black neighbourhoods and schools.
The American proletariat by and large hates the guts of the American state.
