Indeed, the proposal immediately revived memories of the Viet Nam involvement, which started with just a handful of U.S. observers, some of them civilians. Congress has always been exceedingly partial to the Israelis, but it might be wary of this dubious proposal.

Israel has similarly insisted, for internal politics as much as for anything else, that its defense requires a military presence in the passes.
