Hey, that’s great!

I’m sure we will lose 35 of them.

Nothing is worse than African wars. Even the mideast is a cakewalk compared to what our soldiers will see in Africa.

Slash military funding and send 'em off to fight even more wars.. the progressive New Normal run the country like it's make-believe on a 1960s college campus. Don't you just love them?

That’s right, the “fiscal cliff” is real relevent isn’t it, as U.S. military contractor fascism no problem ever, marches on.

Obama’s adventures in intervention are the 21st century version of what was known to the English as “the white man’s burden.”

I still believe a “hidden power” is telling him what to do. In fact, this power is telling all the politicians what to do. Bilderberger?

This will spread our defenses even more. After Jan 20th he will announce he’s sign an EO eliminating all nukes. And I doubt one general will have the balls to even protest.

My first thought was that the “political unreliables” will be the first to be deployed.

My second thought was “When are these poor guys going to be allowed to be deployed at home for a full tour?”

This administration is not afraid of screwing up real big.
We don't know if this will work at all, so let's try it in 35 different hellholes with untrained soldiers. Good idea.
Will they be allowed to use bullets?

I feel bad for our soldiers serving in combat zones under the command of this regime. The rules of engagement are bad enough but these cowards will turn their back on our soldiers when their lives are on the line. Words like honor, sacrifice, dedication and duty mean nothing to pantywaist politicians.

Terrorists in 35 countries get training in modern warfare by fighting our troops as test subjects. They don't care if they lose 100 to 1. The survivors will train the rest in what does and doesn't work against American soldiers.

Then after we evacuate from multiple countries they all become terrorist strongholds, Afghanistans x 35 pouring their fanatics across Africa and into the well worn immigration road to Europe and the Baltic countries, completing the invasion already in progress and then focusing attention on Russia. Western Europe is already flooded with Muslims fulfilling a support role, whether they mean to or not. They become the safe houses and bases of operation for the real terrorists we are helping to train.

What do you think the purpose is, of wars we are not allowed to win? Of insanely restrictive orders of operation? To win hearts and minds?

Obama has begun this same process with us...Thousands from Terrorist-Sponsoring Nations Entering US on "Diversity Visas"

Just being pessimistic, I suppose...who knows, maybe it'll end up with African democracy and liberty and happy peaceful pygmys riding skittle pooping unicorns across the land.../s

More missions.....less money. Let’s send the food stamp recipients over there. Earn that money.

The goal is to get as much of the military out of the country as possible. They won't be able to vote or to quell a martial law takeover using... "a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as well funded as the military."

Just think, he could start by populating schools with unionized Federal police!

“Gen. Carter Ham, the top U.S. commander in Africa, noted that the brigade has a small drone capability that could be useful in Africa. But he also acknowledged that he would need special permission to tap it for that kind of mission.

“’If they want them for (military) operations, the brigade is our first sourcing solution because they’re prepared,’ said Gen. David Rodriguez, the head of U.S. Army Forces Command. ‘But that has to go back to the secretary of defense to get an execute order.’”

Looks like they are waiting for an “execute order” to employ kamikaze mini-drones, like Switchblade, on the Saharan and Sub-Saharan Islamists.

http://defense-update.com/20110902_switchblade.html

“The Switchblade air vehicle launches from a small tube that can be carried in a backpack and transmits live color video wirelessly for display on AeroVironment’s standard small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) ground control unit. Upon confirming the target using the live video feed, the operator then sends a command to the air vehicle to arm it and lock its trajectory onto the target. Flying quietly at high speed the Switchblade delivers its onboard explosive payload with precision while minimizing collateral damage. With the ability to call off a strike even after the air vehicle is armed, Switchblade provides a level of control not available in other weapon systems.”

The US must realize that as it employs drones against Islamists, Islamists will learn how to employ them as asymmetric weapons against us, as the have so frequently done with other technology before (see my tag line).
