The only way I'd be okay with this is if it's a permanent US territory
Also, I hate to sound like a socialist, but the government doesn't give us a choice when they take our money; we should get back the profits, at least. If we're doing any expansionist bullshit, Americans need to benefit. If we're "taking Gaza" and making it great again...fucking pay me.
The current 'the government takes as much money from us as they want, and takes the rest with money printing inflation, gets the profits, and gives us nothing' model is not feasible. Stop taking my money, or make me a shareholder in the proceeds. One or the other. You don't get to steal from me and profit off the investments too. Well...I mean, they do...but they shouldn't.
Spending billions or trillions to "get" Gaza, Greenland, Canada (LOL), and the like is utterly insulting to American taxpayers.

You forget your place, commoner. Like Auron MacIntyre said: you don't live in a country, you live in a tax farm for a global empire.
Doesn't mean I have to like it.
I weep that my Economic Zone™ is so gay.
