That young man would never join the USA army, but he joined the Israeli army.
“Allegedly, Palestinians are rejoicing over something”
Happens every time. They are being told they achieved victory over the Great Satan and that gold lined streets are right around the corner. When nothing materializes they will use it as a pretext to pick right back up where they left off.

Dafuq are you rambling about that has literally nothing to do with what I said.
