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.

    Youre right and no amount of poor people turned away from having criminal records, being too overweightor too uneducated will change their mind that more poor people would join if the US didnt already betray them to point so they cant even be part of the war machine. Because too overweight, did crimes and/or cant pass the ASVAB. You’re right but they’re holding onto a graphic that doesnt really prove anything either and ignores the amount of poors in the military.
