#1 Why to Somalia and not Minneapolis?

#2 The federal government of Somalia has been asking for help from the US in the al-Shabaab war

I think there should be a strict condition for renouncing islam and shutting down mosques if you're an islamic nation and want help with jihaders.

#3 
Having lost a friend (GRIZ) and learned of several wounded that I knew...the last time (Oct. 3rd & 4th) a Liberal democrat president used Africa for media deflection.

I have ask WHY? do this meaningless political stunt again? Or does B-boy think it will win him AA votes state side?

#5 There were at one time, seasoned regional forces that could have successfully intervened, but the feckless West assisted in their destruction.

#6 Will they be celebrating diversity and rejecting white supremacy while they are there?

#7 Hurray! A new war! What do you bet this one goes on for years and is never won, either?

Say, when's the last time we won a war? I'm thinking Battleship Missouri, 1945.

#8 But if a white GI kills a black rebel.
Will BLOM FLY OUT to protest and riot?

#10 Can we send Rep. Ilhan Omar with them as a 'consultant'? Maybe she'll get lost in the jungle or something.

#11 I don't think there'smuch jungle to get lost in, but we can leave in the desert with a slurpee and wish her good luck.

...She may be insane, but she's not crazy enough to go back there. It's dangerous.

#14 Endless war for the military-industrial complex, but everybody in Al-Shabaab is POC, so the optics are poor at best Jojo. Still, it has a great sounding tough-guy backstory of fighting terrorists and helping diversity in Kenya by reintroducing a few white guys?

#15 No.
I already lost someone I served with in Operation Gothic Serpent. The Somalis can all go collectively fuck themselves and they are not worth any more American blood or treasure.
