The top U.S. military commander for Africa says the Pentagon is planning to begin training 5,000 to 8,000 Libyan soldiers by midyear to help bolster the nation's security. The U.S. is also looking into providing additional airlift assistance to South Sudan, where violence has killed more than 1,000 people and driven 180,000 from their homes in the last month.
Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon, Gen. David Rodriguez, head of U.S. Africa Command, said the U.S. is planning a 24-week training program to help the Libyans, as part of a broader international effort to shore up security in the country and region in the aftermath of the 2011 fall of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

Yes we are. Why? Because we are training members of the Muslim Brotherhood to fight for Morsi in Egypt, against the Egyptian Military.
Ping
I guess I associate anything around the Mediterranean and east of there as the Middle East.
Yes, Muslim Hell Holes would be accurate.
Also, Satan-Worshipping Muslim Hell Holes.
Now that we have a muslim in the WH, what does that make us?
Muslims hate everyone who does not worship Satan.
Oh, joy!
With THIS administration, I expect the training will concentrate on the most effective ways to kill Americans and American troops.
Well, we’ve always been big on standardization. Start in grade school. I still say peace would break out in Asia Minor if we just gave every adult there a rifle and made sure they know how to use it.
I already assumed everyone in Asia Minor had a rifle.
Let it be the Marines. It would be so ironic.
