Honestly kind of surprised it’s not higher. So the normal number according to this article is about 40,000? Course I guess it makes sense logistically. It’s cheaper probably to transport them quickly than to house and feed them permanently.

Honestly kind of surprised it’s not higher.

The increase is mostly due to naval assets and US Marines deployments. They can’t deploy much more lest they want to expose their other positions.

More than a half of them may return home dead or injured. Or not even return at all. And for what reason? Because of their “imperator” decided to play in war.

Not sure how much you can get done with just 50,000. Invade that one island maybe? I wonder how many troops Israel is contributing to the effort? This is their war after all, there is nothing in it for the US.

I wonder how many of them get to return home inside a body bag
