WaPo had no mention of the usual ground combat units: infantry, armored and artillery.

Not so good.

But better than sending them to the Bundy Ranch in Nevada.

“Poland will breathe a little easier....”

.
Not only Poland will breathe a little easier but also the rest of the Europukes who will not have to send their troops.

Money saved can be spent on all those social programs like 30-day vacations, etc.

I know, I know, American troops are a tripwire and all that BS.

When do the girly men of Europe - as the EU likes to call itself - take care of their own problems?

Which if they had managed the fall of the Soviet Union correctly, instead of humiliating Russia in the 1990s, would have meant this entire episode and the rise of Putinism would not have happened.

Next the crack JAG corps will be negotiating terms of surrender. At what point will the Army have more JAG officers than Infantry?

Trip wire, eh, to be slaughtered by invading Russian hordes?

Absurd.

When JFK was starting the Vietnam war, he sent in 16,000 troops, I don’t recall the Wash Post ever calling them “combat troops”.

Meanwhile, gays, lesbians, and transgenders are demanding the honor of being on the front lines when the shooting starts.

If the Bear enters Polish territory, and NATO doesn't shoot back, NATO is finished (along with Poland).

This is nothing but theater. There is no current threat to Poland.

If they are taking this big step, it had better damn well be a credible military presence, and not a few hundred troops to be used for a photo-op and eventual target practice for the Russians.

Not only would it be a slaughter, it would also be a monumental embarrassment, most likely leading us to WWIII. The potential for a modern day ‘Pearl Harbor’ comes to mind.

The Russian Army isn't the Iraqi Army as it was under Saddam. They're a large, modern equipped army with a large air force. God forbid if there were ever a conventional war between them and us. It would be a blood bath and we would take a hell of a pounding.

We should not be sending US troops to Poland.

Send some Germans, that should put fat into the fire, for that was the plan when we closed down all those US NATO basis in Germany, the krauts were supposed to fill in for US as needed.

Re: US to send combat troops to Poland

Just so not one single person doubts my courage and guts, I have sent our finest to Poland... and they are on the way!

Driver? Driver!

How soon do we... get to Warsaw?

Really, Phil, the President must be crazy... to send us way over here!

Look at... this country--

Look... Look!

And you cannot get a signal... worth a damn here either!

So, tell all, far and wide, as far as I am concerned... if the Poles like their country, they can keep their country!
