The leader of a private squad of US military veterans heading to Israel to rescue trapped Americans angrily says they only have to help because the Biden administration refuses to protect its own people even when they are “with the barrel of a gun pointed at them.” ”. “
“We used to be feared, now they laugh at us,” Bryan Stern told the Post of the US failures that have forced him to maintain Project DYNAMO, the rescue force he first assembled after Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“There has never been anything like DYNAMO before, because there has never been a need for something like DYNAMO before,” he said.
“The net result is that Americans continue to be in danger and the United States continues to embarrass itself on the world stage,” he said of what he sees as a weakened foreign response.
While he declined to single out any leader as guilty, Stern said he once again felt obligated to “Americans are being held at gunpoint” as terrorists continue to kidnap and kill citizens.
“Hamas thinks we’re idiots,” he said of the terrorists who have already killed at least nine Americans, and many more are missing after the weekend atrocity in Israel. “They’re laughing at us.”

Stern said he founded his Tampa-based nonprofit in 2021 after Biden left “blue passport Americans” behind in Afghanistan, with follow-up missions to Ukraine, Sudan and wildfire-ravaged Maui.
As with each of them, the military does not intervene because the government does not comply with the basic principle it defends: “We do not leave our people behind, never again.”
“We don’t have a capacity problem, we don’t have a capacity problem,” Stern said of the military, a community he has been a part of “for 25 years.”
“The U.S. government is watching on TV; there’s no logical way to explain it,” he said of the lack of aid.

He stressed that his squad would happily step aside and leave the bailouts to the government if the military were called upon to take over.
Instead, his group has already received hundreds of requests from Americans, their families and other allies who need help in Israel as Hamas continues to kidnap people, he said.
“We have dozens and dozens of people who have registered with us,” he said.

In Israel, the group, made up of a team of special operations and intelligence community veterans as well as civilian volunteers, hopes to rescue American hostages “traversing through Gaza and heading to Lebanon,” freeing those trapped in territories Palestinians and those trapped between the West Bank and Gaza “where it’s a shootout.”
Stern founded the veterans group shortly after the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
He did not specify how Project DYNAMO will work with the Israeli government under its Operation: PROMISED LAND, but said “we are a professional rescue organization” known to the government.
“Our motto is ‘Don’t be a bystander,’” he said.
“I think the moral of the story is that we really have to be Americans,” he said.
