#1 I agree with Trump, it is a Outhouse dumping ground.

Having worked around SFOD-D and lost 2 good friends in Somalia (Oct 3rd and 4th). The military's role is to protect the USA and its Citizens, to neutralize or kill all threats including terrorist trainers and 3rd party/proxy supporters. After pumping BILLIONS into Africa we have little show but more TERRORISTS.

I feel simply reducing $$$ only to countries activity eliminating terrorism, closing down Open Borders and restricting Immigration to those that have had detailed background checks, a viable employment skill, want to become part of America, learn basic English, accept our laws, customs, culture and NOT a setup separated communities. Would solve a lot of the Terrorist issues.

#2 ....learn basic English, accept our laws, customs, culture and NOT a setup separated communities.

Having trouble enough achieving this right here at home. I give you the crisis on our southern border and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as examples.

#3 "the lack of a cohesive strategy for ongoing U.S. military operations in Africa"

Why the FUCK do we have "ongoing military operations in Africa"? What POSSIBLE interest does it serve?

#4 Herb,

I asked the same question a million times when I was fighting for my life in Angola and snooping around Rhodesia and Uganda.

#5 Western governments systematically destroyed colonial governments and their proven ability to bring effective military force to bear against kommunis and tribal (redundent yes) governance.

You reap what you sow.

#6 Herb, but they are making it safer for China's New Silk Road?

#7 Not a fan, but when I hear about Libya, I occasionally wonder how much footage exists covering Daffy's last couple pages of his life.

#8 When I read this line "...I feel simply reducing $$$ only to countries activity eliminating terrorism,..." I thought, 'wow, pay Russia to be mercs for US'. Aim them in the general direction, and stand way back. I doubt it would get much support, but the idea is intriguing.
