I also served for 22 years in the US military (Army) and also retired a senior officer (major) with multiple combat deployments.
A question I have also asked from the very beginning -
WHAT ARE ISRAEL'S STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES?
They haven't stated any. But they have engaged in completely indiscriminate attacks on infrastructure and civilians. As such,
Israel will be recognized as a state that engaged in genocide and individuals will face war crime charges in the future.
