    Not a bad idea, but you’d be relying on the IDF and Hamas not to fuck it up. The odds of a fuck-up increases exponentially with every idiot you add to a situation.

      We can call up almost a third of Israel’s total population into active military service with minimal problems.

      No recruiting drives, no drafts, that is just in our already active and reserves.

      We probably have more special services members who cut their teeth on war in the desert and urban areas than Hamas had at their full strength in ordinary soldiers.

      We have spy satellites that can practically, and in all likelihood actually can, read the text off pages.

      We got so good at making super bombs that we got bored and said “Hold my Beer” and then stuck some fucking swords on a missile just to show off.

      The US Military is basically the real life version of r/HFY.

      It would take a special kind of stupid to start some shit when we are handing out food and trying to appease both sides of the political spectrum, and just give the US a legit reason to fuck around for Real Real in the Middle East again.
