3000 U.S. Soldiers Deployed To The Middle East After Soleimani's Death by Explorers(op): 9:33am On Jan 05, 2020

The United States has deployed nearly 3,000 more Army troops to the Middle East as reinforcements in the volatile aftermath of the killing of an Iranian general in a strike ordered by President Donald Trump.

The soldiers are in addition to about 700 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne who deployed to Kuwait earlier this week after the storming of the US Embassy compound in Baghdad by Iran-backed militiamen and their supporters.

See how well kitted they are, fit and battle ready. Somewhere in the poverty capital of the world ravaged by Islamic extremist, their soldiers who always look like a militia or guerilla group are busy displaying madness publicly, roasting bushmeat and fighting with aba made Chinese type 56 (clone of Kalashnikov rifle) .

My Layman's term.

War sometimes is not about hardware, tech, or might.

But Strategy, Logic, Planning and Diversion. You make false move, withdraw on the way and make another.

This is 2020, not 1920s.

If there should be WWIII, the result might be shocking.

Only if we live to tell.

This war is not good.
Many of these men and women are uncertain of their fate.
Some many not return back alive if the war begins.
BTW, does the Nigera Army send women to the war front too?

Too early to say his last prayer. There is still time for so many more prayers.
He's just reflecting.

Meanwhile in over 70 US cities.

Demonstrators marched from the White House to the Trump International Hotel to protest US military involvement in the Middle East.

Even in New York.

Many of you kids just happy about a potential war . You are too excited and naive. . That's impossible. Worse that can happen is a cold war. The world have gone beyond all these. This is the 21st century and it takes a whole lot for a war to break out easily like that. A cold war is the worse that will happen.
