US Is Sending More Troops To The Middle East As Violence Rises by God1000(op): 3:00pm On Sep 24, 2024

The U.S. is sending a small number of additional troops to the Middle East in response to a sharp spike in violence between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon that has raised the risk of a greater regional war, the Pentagon said Monday.

Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, would not say how many more forces would be deployed or what they would be tasked to do. The U.S. now has about 40,000 troops in the region.

On Monday, the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, two Navy destroyers and a cruiser set sail from Norfolk, Virginia, headed to the Sixth Fleet area in Europe on a regularly scheduled deployment. The ships' departure opens up the possibility that the U.S. could keep both the Truman and the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which is in the Arabian Gulf, in the region in case more violence breaks out.

“In light of increased tension in the Middle East and out of an abundance of caution, we are sending a small number of additional U.S. military personnel forward to augment our forces that are already in the region," Ryder said. "But for operational security reasons, I’m not going to comment on or provide specifics.”

The new deployments come after significant strikes by Israeli forces against targets inside Lebanon that have killed hundreds and as Israel is preparing to conduct further operations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday warned Lebanese civilians in a videotaped message to evacuate their homes ahead of a widening air campaign. He spoke as Israeli warplanes struck alleged Hezbollah targets in southern and eastern Lebanon.

Sigh... Another opportunity to look for "weapons of mass destruction". tongue

Last time they were in the Middle East, they shipped away lots of these "weapons" back to America...!

Trust America not to miss such a rare opportunity to bring "peace" and remove "weapons of destruction" from warring nations that have no direct business with them.

Fun facts
Nigeria has lost more military men than the US this year alone
America tax payers have more purchasing power than Nigeria tax payers, even with the heavy taxes.

Now, stop lamenting over others ways of life. They do not need your sympathy.

Lebanon has been hijacked by the Hezbollah militants and there's need for them to be flushed out,any destructions in Lebanon would serve as part of the collateral damages.
