Biden’s Joint Task Force Gaza: Dead US Soldiers and Sailors is a Reality You May Need to Accept.
President Biden’s Plan has merit and the Can-Do spirit of the Navy Sea Bees and Army Engineers could accomplish it … at what cost?

President Biden announced during the State of the Union that he was ordering the US military to conduct “an emergency mission” to establish a pier that would allow sea cargo to return to the Port of Gaza. The purpose of this effort would be to increase the flow of humanitarian traffic and goods directly into North Gaza, bypassing the severe restrictions Egypt and Israel place on truck cargo. It sounds like a pretty good idea, except that it would be taking place in a ruined city, with virtually no infrastructure, and rely on the protection of the Israeli army to make sure US service members are not killed or captured by Hamas terrorists.
I mean, given the rabid intensity of hatred towards Israel and the United States by Palestinians, Iran, Russia, and Trump … What could go wrong?
