Congress just dishonored every American veteran. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps. I dedicated years of my life to this country, our way of life, and our beliefs. I lost friends. I watched wives hold their babies and choke back tears at my friends' funerals. For that sacrifice, our country recognizes service members. They can proudly say "I served" and carry the title of Veteran. Now Congress wants to grant that same recognition to service in a foreign military, for the sole benefit of that foreign country, in an ongoing military action being investigated for war crimes against civilians. That cheapens every veteran's sacrifice. It undermines the honor of military service. And it dishonors this country. Repost this. Americans need to know. Veterans need to know. The families of service members and veterans need to know. And Congress needs to know we are not ok with this.

Very, very true. And if you have followed anything I have written, you know that I spend a lot of my time trying to make Americans aware of exactly that fact. In fact, my entire book is about that.

This is the new narrative being pushed about the FY2027 NDAA, claiming it would "merge" the U.S. and Israeli militaries so they can frame it as "colonization." This is propaganda being proliferated by our enemies, plain and simple. Let's break down what the FY2027 NDAA, specifically Section 224 means, a thread:🧵

Not an opinion. Section 224 of the 2027 NDAA. Read it. responsiblestatecraft.org/is…

Congress quietly moves to integrate US and Israeli militaries

In the first step towards shifting aid further into the shadows, the House's 2027 NDAA would all but fuse the two countries' armed forces together

Tucker Carlson just did an interview with Dr. Nick Maynard of Oxford University medical school has been a witness to the genocide, and has discussed with Tucker the Israelis' use of dogs to hunt and shoot people.

🚨 AMERICA, WAKE UP: THE SAME ISRAELI SOLDIERS THAT BOMBED GAZA AND RAPED WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE GOING TO FLOOD THE STREETS OF AMERICA! 🚨 Section 224 of the 2027 NDAA is a Quiet Hostile Takeover of Our Military by Israel Buried in the massive defense bill, this "United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative" doesn't just deepen ties... it fuses the US and Israeli armed forces like never before. Bilateral R&D on everything: AI, quantum, cyber, autonomous systems, biotech, directed energy. Co-production of weapons on US soil. Joint ventures, licensing, network integration, and data fusion... meaning US military data becomes Israeli military data. An "executive agent" in the Pentagon to synchronize it all. This goes way beyond $200+ billion in aid since 1948. It's shifting from transparent aid to opaque industrial merger. Co-production facilities in places like Mississippi and Arkansas mean more US jobs tied to Israeli companies... buying political loyalty in Congress. The horror? While Americans are fed up with endless foreign entanglements and want America First, Congress is wiring our military-industrial complex directly into Israel's. The same forces fighting their wars could gain unprecedented influence over ours... tech, data, production, strategy. Your tax dollars, your soldiers' lives, your kids' future... further entangled in Middle East conflicts with zero public debate. This isn't "allyship." It's integration that critics rightly call a fusion of armed forces at a time when public support for blank-check involvement is collapsing. Why is this buried in the NDAA with minimal oversight? Whose data gets fused first... and who controls it? Will American troops end up in joint ops that drag us into more wars? When does "cooperation" cross into losing sovereignty over our own military? This must be ripped out of the bill. Call your reps. Demand transparency. Reject the merger. America funds allies... we don't merge our defense core with any foreign power. SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE THAT YOU KNOW! SHARE THIS TO YOUR GROUP CHATS! TEXT THIS TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS! THE ENTIRE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THIS AND THE ATTACHED POST AND THREAD BELOW! If you see this reposted, unpost it and repost it again! THIS IS THE FINAL PIN IN THE COFFIN. The military belongs to We the People, not any foreign lobby. Let me know what you think, and SHARE THIS so that others may too! And if you're not already following @TrueOnX... What the heck are you doing?

Michael, I respect your service in the Corps. But this take is weak. No one is ‘cheapening’ American veterans by recognizing allies who are actively fighting the same jihadist death cult that wants to destroy the West. If this is about Israel (and it clearly is), they’re the only ones actually taking the fight to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, the same axis chanting ‘Death to America.’ Calling it ‘war crimes’ is straight Hamas propaganda. America First doesn’t mean turning our back on the one real ally in the region while our enemies grow stronger.

"For that sacrifice, our country recognizes service members. They can proudly say "I served"" Wake up. The billionaire class controls the military and uses the people in it to carry out their corrupt geopolitical agendas. It has zero to do with 'serving' the country or Americans

More than that Michael, they are granting extraordinary unprecedented exclusivie military ties and sharing information, technology, and benefits with the genocidal terrorist nation that proudly protests for their so-called "right" to gang rape Prisoners of War and civilian detainees, clearly violating the Geneva Convention and every aspect of human dignity. As a CSA/GR survivor myself I cannot find the words to express how deeply outraged, hurt, baffled, shocked, incensed, traumatized, and mortified I am at America's shameful and dangerous efforts to destroy what little we have left of our dedication to human rights, at our profoundly idiotic willingness to hand the wolf at our door, aka the drooling "Epstein class," unsupervised and unrestricted accesss to America's children and other vulnerable populations, and to share our best tools of defense with a country that is very well known to spy on and to exploit us for their own gain and for our destruction while torturing and sexually assaulting everyone that stands in their way. Anyone who watched Israelis banging on prison doors for their "right" to gang rape POWs, who saw those rapists turned into TV celebrities, should stand up and take notice.
