Global sources are saying Isreal is taking it in the shorts.


I think you may be being deceived here. I am not seeing any evidence of the claim that Tel Aviv is on lockdown either on BBC or other international sources, including Google traffic maps. Perhaps your social media is feeding you what it "thinks" you want to see.

I have seen reporting on missile attacks. Haven't these been ongoing from the start? I haven't seen anything indicating that Tel Aviv is on lockdown, the streets are empty, etc. This is why I wonder if your social media is giving you what you hope is happening rather than the reality on the ground.

I do know that Bloomberg and BBC reporters in Tel Aviv have had to end reports to go into bunkers of missile attacks as I listened.

As a citizen of the Lowcountry here in SC I have a message for Lady G. You can jump your queer ass off the Ravenel bridge. Its really easy for a childless homesexual to volunteer others kids to die for your continued paychecks.

This dude Graham is insane.

He is the definition of a punk ass.

Volunteer your own ass into harm's way Lindsay.


I agree he is dangerous. He did put his ass in harms way for 33 years. So as crazy as he is, that is one area he walked the walk.

He was JAG and was stationed in Germany. Was he in harms way in a court in peace time Germany? Gimme a f'n break. He also is on record admitting he never deployed. In 1998, the Capitol Hill daily newspaper The Hill contended that Graham was describing himself on his website as an Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm veteran. Graham responded: "I have not told anybody I'm a combatant. I'm not a war hero, and never said I was. ... If I have lied about my military record, I'm not fit to serve in Congress", further noting that he "never deployed".[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham#cite_note-20][20][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham#cite_note-21][21][/url]

Amen brother......... Graham is the worst kind of hypocrite.

Such *******s always want someone else to do the bleeding.

While they hide back thousands of miles from the *****

Isn't this standard procedure in Israel? They have been dealing with missiles there for a long time. The original tweet posted was making the case that Tel Aviv was basically at the breaking point. I haven't seen evidence that this is the case. It just seems like wishful thinking.

Dude, the guy served 33 years. He has little choice on where. He is a lot of things and I do not agree with many of his positions, but using his military service because it wasn't what you perceive as dangerous enough is bush league.

I know the Gulf in 91, another of his assignments was dangerous even after the war was over. JAG Officers were a big part of cleaning up the mess that was left. Missiles, IEDs and terrorists don't care. This is the terrorist attack on a bar in Berlin 1986, several US soldiers died and more were wounded.

To be fair, anyone who signs up for our military is putting him or herself in harms way. Still, that doesn't mean that he has any higher credibility than anyone else speaking on issues of war.

Gottcha. I agree with you that they are not at a breaking point. Israel will never be at the breaking point. Every attack is existential. You don't give up when the option is being pushed in the sea.

With respect...I disagree.

There is a huge difference between the guys on the front lines risking their precious ass and the glorified paper pushers in the rear. In a perfect world only those who have seen the burning corpses should be pushing for war.

The horrors of sudden death are too easily sanitized by the time the casket arrives at Dover Air Force Base.

Bush was the last president to see combat. That is very unfortunate.

You might not end up in combat and you may never suffer anything greater than a paper cut, but when you sign up, you are (potentially) putting yourself in harms way, whether it be a terrorist attack on a military base or an unforeseen military disaster that puts you in a combat role.

If you play on a football team you get into harms way. Being a JAG lawyer and going to Rammstein AFB is not dangerous. I went to elementary school and middle school on post at Patrick Henry village in Heidelberg which was the army HQ in Europe. I guess I was in as much harms way as Lindsey.
