    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.
