Is there a reason the US is sending 100 of our people to Israel? - eviltoast

I genuinely want to understand this. Are the defense systems we are sending so advanced that we can’t let anyone else operate them?

I know politics aren’t allowed here, so i want to stress that I just want to know why this is happening.

        They aren’t there to protect it, they’re there to operate it.

        It’s a defensive missile battery, the US expects more missile attacks from Iran and plans to counter them.

        This whole thing is a war between the US and Iran, it just happens to be occurring in Israel.

            Israel couldn’t be fighting Iran without Western support. Iran is literally 8 times bigger in terms of population, and has oil money to fund itself.

            Agency is worth nothing if you can’t back it up.
