VOA: More Attacks on US Forces Following Strike on Iran-Backed Targets in Syria
Pentagon — Iranian-backed militants have attacked U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria at least four times in the past 24 hours, raising the number of attacks to 52 in less than a month, U.S. defense officials tell VOA.
"These attacks must stop, and if they don't stop, then we won't hesitate to do what's necessary, again, to protect the troops," Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters at a news conference in Seoul on Monday.
The four attacks occurred after U.S. forces carried out strikes against two Iran-linked sites in Syria late Sunday in response to attacks on American personnel. The strikes hit a training facility near Abu Kamal and a safe house near Mayadin, according to the military.

Your orders: Just sit there and get plinked at all day like a sailor on the USS Liberty.
Your results: A lot of guys come home with life-altering severe PTSD like a sailor on the USS Liberty.
The Israelis paid $117 million in compensation.
You have 3 options
A) The liberty was spying for the Egyptians.
B) The Liberty was spying for the Americans and the Israelis were afraid info was passed along to the Egyptians
C) The Israelis made an honest mistake.
The US government classified the report as TS. So I think (A) is most likely at 60% to 70%.
I give (B) & (C) 30% to 40% chance with more to (B) than (C).
I love it when RuZZians bring this up. it is not as though news junkies and armchair military historians do not know this. 2:28 has to let his Goebbels show.
Is (A) likely? the USD government was against Israel before it was for it. The USG switched sometime between the 56 war and the Yom Kippur war.
The Roosevelt admin was very anti-Semite. Sure there were some high ranking people who were "Jewish", but it does not mean they were pro-Israel. Those anti-Semite in the government did not go away.
Has the USSR/Russia ever a paid? Not that I know of/
Why Did Israel Attack USS Liberty?

GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU RUSSIAN BASTARD!
The article explained it. You did not read the article. The Americans opened fired from a lack of nerve or not getting the order through the 1MC or sound powered phones.
