Chief Kenyan is up to something.

I have a nephew, gets sent to Afghan for 4-5 months every year. Last time he came home, was up for a visit, hunting trip, and he said we ain't leaving Afghanistan (be there 50 years like Korea), just transitioning from reg army units to more specialized units that suffer less casualties; highly trained/skilled killers and such. Said that we were building all kinds of infrastructure (roads, FOB's ect) to hold what was necessary to keep the Taliban in check in the future.

About 1 1/2 years back, he said they had a big future mission in the horn of Africa, (terrorism and such) in a year or two. I said Big "O" might get re-elected and he won't send Americans. He told me that decisions like this are made by people above the President,no joke. He said they have this all planned out years in advance. I bet what he was telling me was the complete truth and probably for the greater good of America in the end anyway.
