I mean, they don\u2019t call Hamas &#8216;terrorists&#8217; for nothing.<\/p>\n<p>But as that well-meaning, elderly man with a bad memory yelled out during his State of the Union harangue, there will be no American boots on the ground!<\/p>\n<p>The poor souls tapped to serve this mission will be the very definition of sitting ducks. And their Navy and Air Force protectors will be, as Sleepy Joe\u2019s puppet master might say, leading from behind. They will get involved only after missiles, RPGs, drones, and God knows what else, rain down death and destruction upon our servicemen and servicewomen.<\/p>\n<p>Can you imagine Hamas dragging American corpses around the Strip for the edification of their Gazan supporters? Or Hamas sending out videos of female American soldiers being gang-raped, tortured, and killed?<\/p>\n<p>I can.<\/p>\n<p>And after this past October 7, most sentient beings &#8212; which precludes the dried-up turnip in the White House &#8212; also can.<\/p>\n<p>How best to relieve the suffering of the Gazan civilians, I don\u2019t know. But this cockamamie floating dock idea, created simply to assuage Muslim voters in Michigan, is just about the stupidest and most dangerous idea I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n<p>If implemented, it\u2019s bound to end in U.S. blood and tears.
