US special forces feel betrayed, believing any coming military action serves Israel rather than the United States.

• Elite tier-one and tier-two troops reportedly joke that a possible mission "isn't even for us."
• They believe they'd be fighting for Israel, not America, and don't buy into the cause.
• Morale is low, with soldiers openly voicing doubt about being sent into action.
• The claim comes secondhand, from a going-away party for one deploying soldier.

Outlook: If action goes ahead, expect more open discontent among US troops questioning why they're being sent.
