U.S. Soldiers Question the Legitimacy of Military Action Against Iran, Saying Ground Operations Could Be a Disaster

Huffington Post: U.S. military personnel doubt the justification of the U.S. military action against Iran

Huffington Post cited multiple U.S. soldiers' statements, saying: "We don't want to die for Israel" — U.S. military personnel have doubts about whether the U.S. military action against Iran is justified.

Trump ordered the deployment of thousands of navy sailors and marines to the Middle East, a region with ongoing tensions. On March 20, Washington dispatched the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, which has a strength of about 2,200 people. At the same time, a large number of U.S. soldiers have refused service, believing that ground operations are meaningless.

An U.S. official said, "The ground operation will be a complete disaster... we have no corresponding plans. We can't even fully protect a land base."

A military doctor revealed that U.S. forces are facing serious problems of inadequate protection and planning. According to him, 13 U.S. soldiers have died in this round of conflicts, and at least 232 have been injured.
