Section 219 of the FY2027 NDAA does not merge the U.S. and Israeli militaries. Fact-checkers PolitiFact (rated False) and Snopes found it creates an executive agent for defense-technology cooperation, not a merger, and the claim departs from nothing in the post, which made the same Section 219 merger allegation.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… If this isn't a war, nothing's a war. I mean, this is absolutely out of control, and so I'm calling for it right now: Twenty-Fifth Amendment, impeachment, whatever needs to happen to get this front and center, to get control of our country. It's impeachable alone that the President supported the NDAA. I agree with Todd Carlson that all of the people that voted for this, the mergers with the foreign military, it actually says it in Section 219, clear as day, need to be in Nuremberg style trials. I mean, this is unbelievable, and if you think it's crazy now, imagine what's coming with this.

Contradicts. PolitiFact rated the claim that Congress voted to 'merge' the US and Israeli militaries False, stating Section 219 does not create a joint command, integrate troops, or yield command of forces to either country.[1]
Contradicts. Snopes reports that Section 219 does not explicitly propose merging the two militaries; it installs an executive agent overseeing existing US-Israeli cooperation in defense technology such as AI, cybersecurity, and biotechnology.[2]
Contradicts. AJC and Wonderwall both report that Section 219 does not place U.S. forces under Israeli command or vice versa, does not create a joint military, and does not commit either country to fight for the other.[4][5]
Context. The provision's real content is a framework for joint defense-technology research, co-production, and licensing with Israel. Critics such as Reuters-reported rights groups object to this deeper cooperation, which is the kernel the 'merger' allegation distorts.[3][4]
