More Middle East stuff...

 

There have been forty (probably more...) drone attacks against US troops in Syria and Iraq since the outbreak of the Israeli-Hamas.  Fortunately no American soldiers have been killed.  So, what happens if one does get killed?

The US has launched a few airstrikes, but against minor targets.  The Iranian-backed militias do not seem that impressed. 

A deadly Iraqi militia strike could restart another Iraq War and it seem pretty obvious US troops are not welcome there.  It might be a good idea to leave, but do so under the cover of airstrikes.  I don;t like the idea of leaving like that, but it is better than another Afghan debacle and the possibility of a war with Iran, leading to wider regional war and who knows after that.

With the somewhat low quality of leadership in DC, America might be sleep walking into a Third World War.
