If Hagee believes that our security depends on Israel's survival, is he proposing that we station a massive amount of troops there?

You are drawing a conclusion based on information you don't have. He never mentioned troops, YOU did.

Hence the use of the word "IF" at the beginning of the sentence, which indicates that a question is being asked. It is impossible to draw a conclusion with a question. Questions are used to inspire analysis and provoke debate.

The specific question is of troop placement. The implied question is to what extent does Hagee believe the U.S. should insure Israel's survival in light of his assertion that our security is dependent upon it?

That question could include, changing the Constitution to reflect his assertion, changing U.S. declared defense policy, energy policy, and of course, as always, MONETARY policy. Where does Hagee draw the line?
