Two GOP lawmakers introduce bill to extend US veteran protections to Americans serving in Israeli military

Two Republican congressmen have introduced legislation that would provide the same employment and economic protections to Americans serving in the Israeli military as US citizens who get deployed to serve in the US military.

The bill, if passed, would amend US law and extend certain protections to include American citizens who serve in the Israeli military.

Those protections include being safe against foreclosure and the repossession of rental property, and would also reduce the interest rates of any loans taken out before their service. It would also protect those Americans from default judgements in legal cases, and grant them job rights and the employment benefits that US veterans receive.

      They aren’t American Soldiers. They’re Americans who volunteered to go to Israel and serve. I guess some of them might be veterans of the US military though? Israel requires service of dual citizens if they want to remain citizens so that’s a big thing about it too.

      Anyways this is just insane. There’s no way it makes it past the Senate.

        Just Americans, not American Soldiers. If we’re sheep dipping anywhere right now it’s Ukraine.
