US military pier in Gaza to cost $320 million, Pentagon estimates
MY SAY: Completely unnecessary and unneeded. Supplies flow freely through the Egyptian border. The problem is not on the supply side, it's on the DISTRIBUTION side, which is controlled by . . . you guessed it, the terrorists, HAMAS!

No different than any construction project in any war zone. Of course they'll try and of course we are more than capable of defending it.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen The USS Cole Scenario comes to mind. A speed boat with a shaped charge that wasn't stopped by 50 caliber machine guns.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
LTC (Join to see) Yes, but defenses and technical capabilities have radically changed since then. The Cole was in a semi hostile but peaceful environment when it was attacked while refueling. https://www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-topic/ships/modern-ships/uss-cole/terrorist-attack-on-uss-cole-background-and-issues-for-congress.html

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - You don't feed enemy combatants who are continuing to fight, and you don't feed the population that is supporting them.

Maj John Bell Not true, your evidence that 100% of the population supports Hamas is where?

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I didn't say that 100% of the population supports Hamas. But that doesn't mean the humanitarian efforts aren't feeding Hamas combatants.
Did we feed Axis populations behind enemy lines during WWII? There is zero doubt that none of the Axis powers had 100% support of their own populations.
Wars are not won on the battlefield. They are won in the will of the civilian population.
