Kentucky Senator Rand Paul expressed his worry over American soldiers stationed in the Middle East during a recent interview with NEWSMAX; “they’re sitting ducks,” Paul says.
“Look, my heart goes out to the families of the soldiers that died, but I wish they had not been placed in an untenable position. I think sprinkling 100 soldiers here, 100 soldiers there, that is not a strategic force … they’re sitting ducks,” he told Newsmax.
“Without question, any president — Republican or Democrat — that wants to take us to war or commit significant acts of war has to come to Congress, and will they? Probably not,” Paul said on “The Chris Salcedo Show” Wednesday.
“Perhaps the uniparty should re-evaluate a policy that stations a few hundred soldiers in a dozen remote areas in dozens of countries — not enough to fight a real war, but just enough to be vulnerable targets,” Paul wrote in a recent post on X.
