HUSH - HUSH: Pentagon Orders "COMBAT PAY" For U.S. Troops - UKRAINE

The Pentagon has ordered COMBAT PAY for U.S. troops serving in . . .  UKRAINE.   Here's the official memo:

This begs the questions:

1) Why are US Troops inside Ukraine at all, AND;

2) If the only US Troops in Ukraine are "Advisors" then why Combat Pay?

(HT Personal Opinion:   I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate . . . . I think the reason for this memo is that US troops ARE in combat in Ukraine and we ARE at war with Russia even though it is undeclared.)
