one of the 12 Green Berets was left behind ... [t]he other Green Berets only noticed his absence after they had pulled back.

What?

“He said the military has no indication that someone tipped off the militants to set up an ambush in the brush.”

Yeah. Maybe someday, the U.S. military will learn they should not engage in multiculturalism and diversity and attempts to prove “we are not racists” in foreign countries.

Death by political correctness
We have to deploy troops in Africa to make it look like that hellhole has some value to us - so we create Africom and a whole bunch of ill conceived missions in central Africa

This is an outgrowth of Susan Rice national security plannjng
She was atoning for Bill Clinton’s nonchalance about genocide in Rwanda and her role in advising him to do so

It’s not clear whether the aircraft fired.

They’re French - surrender would be order......

George Washington’s wise farewell words were to “avoid foreign entanglements.” Too bad we haven’t listened. We should stop pretending that these people are capable of running modern countries. They functioned for centuries with their tribal systems, and we should have left them alone.

What in Niger is worth one American Green Beret’s life?

I guess ‘no man left behind’ isn’t a Green Beret value.

I guess we know where the troops are going after Syria. Oh wait. They are already there. What is the US national interest in Niger?

If people did fifteen minutes worth of research, the Islamic terrorists in Niger are no more dangerous that a Bronx street gang.

And our “commando” would be alive if we followed the constitution when getting entangled in these foreign wars. If we are sending commandos to fight gangs, I suggest they send them into Mexico to kill the cartels.

WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THEY DOING THERE? How do you tell their relatives they “died for their country?” We should not be scattering “troops” all over the globe like so much pollution. Bring them the hell home unless you are going to go kill somebody for a reason that PROTECTS the USA.
