“It will be very difficult for our troops to watch that chaos without acting.”
It seems highly doubtfull that US troops would be put in the position, where direct confrontation with Russians or SO is possible. US moves are designed for force projection. Moreover, unless we are talking about special forces, they would likely be much less effective than Georgians because they would not know the theater, don’t know Russian (unlike most Georgians), and would have come from completely different type of engagement COIN warfare in urban/desert setting, and would have likely have lower morale (Georgians are defending their homeland). All Georgians need are the US weapons. As such, SO “volunteers” or Russians can have very little hope to engage US forces, as they will not be used for offensive operations.
