If NATO doesn't want to send their own troops that is most certainly their choice
NATO doesn't have any troops it is a Defensive Alliance of member Countries , if America or any other member of NATO had been attacked then member Countries would be there as there would be a mandate for their involvement but as this a war of Israel and America's choice NATO member Countries have their own choice to make.
When Britain went to war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands we went alone because that was a war of our choosing to defend our territory from invasion , we did not try to pressure our North American ally to get involved with our South American enemy.
Given Israel's recent and past history of aggression in the Middle East I think we are well advised to stay out of it , if America want's to throw its toys out of the pram because of that then I guess that's par for the course for this President but it is an action that will only make America weaker in the long run.
