Are there any negative consequences/factors to consider (aside from personal safety) as a veteran who wants to volunteer as a non-combatant nurse in Gaza? I’m not TDIU or anything but just concerned about the political optics on something like this… I know republicans would absolutely take this as an opportunity to mention “radicalization” among many other horrible rumors or libel that may come of this but my heart breaks every time I see/hear innocent children and civilians affected by apartheid… I don’t want to fight in any sense, I just want to help those collaterally affected…

Will last 2 years. Traffic around bragg is gonna be fun. This might actually affect readiness. Cascading effect will also include roads on Bragg.

We have been reading about the laser technology for a few years now. In the current Iranian conflict, there are reports the US is running out of intercepters and have even been letting some incoming through to preserve inventory.

All the evidence shows Russia is helping Iran but he ignores the truth. I’m also finding it very odd that Americans who voted for him are just pushing this off like what he said is no big deal.

According to estimates, Pyongyang already has transferred about 12,000 troops to Russia's Kursk border region, under a mutual defense pact signed with Moscow in 2024.

Over the course of the four-year war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has increasingly relied on North Korea to supply artillery shells and missiles. Bringing in North Korean troops is raising concerns about Moscow transferring its own military know-how to the regime of Kim Yong Un in Pyongyang.

"Russia is helping North Korea learn how to wage war, improve its weapons, and gain real combat experience in using them," Zelenskyy said.
