"Netanyahu is as close as he has ever been to his ultimate wish: making the U.S. fight Iran on Israel's behalf," wrote one journalist.

100 troops is not enough to invade Iran, you silly armchair-general fucks commenting here.
Not the point.
What happens when Iran manages to kill an American soldier a week before the election?
No, but 100 dead troops is enough to grandstand about to get enough outrage to justify an all-out war in the region.
Unless the US military is stupid to keep all 100 of them in a single easily bombable location, there's no fucking way on this green earth a single one of them will die in any combat, especially if they are simply manning air defense outposts spread across the country like what the article that no one here reads actually said.
Fun fact, Air Defense is a priority target in missile saturation attacks because it makes it easier for follow on missiles to hit their targets.
So why did he send them? To help with tel aviv mcdonalds understaffing issue?
Anti missile and aircraft systems are obviously the #1 targets in any attack. And the Israelis gain much more by letting them get hit than by making sure those units are protected in any way. They might even secretly shoot at them themselves to speed things up. I would not want to be one of those THAAD operators.
