Why are we in that crap hole? Sad loss.

[madison10]

I had the same question.

[Meet the New Boss]

Because the local population are all “future Americans” according to our globalist overlords.

[laconic]

I think Mattis, Tillerson, McMaster and Kelly all push for these involvements that to me, have nothing to do with US national security. God Bless their families, but I thought the last election was going to put an end to these endless foreign involvements, period. I voted for Trump, not for Tillerson, Mattis, Kelly or McMaster.

[mindburglar]

Really. What reason could we have to send our troops there?

3 men dead for what?

[jazusamo]

Very sad, wish I knew why we’re there.

Niger

The U.S. Air Force set up a drone base in Niamey, Niger, in 2013. The White House says it has around 100 military personnel in the country on an “intelligence collection” mission.

Why are we in that crap hole?

Because Boko Haram is in that area, and we are trying to wipe them out.

[Arkansas Tider]

We have been in these crap holes in Africa for a long time. I spent six months in 1996-97 moving amongst Ethiopia, Eretria and Somalia with the 5th SFG.

[piasa]

Niger is a uranium mining country.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Forward Muslime defense line. Oil.

[TheConservativeTejano]

Yup, we need to get out all Americans out of these small insignificant piss ant countries.

Good Lord, we have not learned a dog gone thing about that Clintoon fiasco in Somalia.

President needs to tell General Mattis and Tillerson that we need to get out of Niger period---End of story!!!
