You are arguing semantics here. The 101st Airborne Division was originally a paratroop division but is now called “air assault”. Same function, different equipment.
The article also states that when the current troop’s deployment is over, they will be replaced by 101st Airborne from Fort Campbell KY for a 9 month deployment.
The exact number of troops, who knows?
No I’m not arguing semantics, I’m pointing out a fake news claim, “We just sent 5000 paratroopers to Romania.”.
The 101st are not paratroopers and we didn’t just send an additional 5,000 paratroopers to Romania.
The poster was getting people worked up about it, which is what she does.
