(9,426 posts)Fourth combat deployment? So many lives have been cut in their prime because of war mongering politicians, who only see profits. Now I have no doubt the US military will be used to "help" Saudi Arabia in their war with Iran. Gee, I wonder who will profit the most from THAT? The Saudi royal family must see the USA as fools, being used to help them, after they funded the 9/11 group.

(6,841 posts).... U.S. Troops would be deployed to a region of the world to serve UNDER the command of a UN Force Commander.
Now the CIC seems to be ready to send forces to retaliate against Iran for the attack on the Saudi oil fields.
But it appears that Trump is moved by the fact that the Saudi's PAY CASH!
So our troops are now going to be treated as mercenaries (paid fighters) by Trump.
Ask yourself who getting the fu*king money.
For the right amount of money, I believe Trump would sell Ivanka to the highest bidder.
