Sounds like a good training exercise for both sides. Al Qaeda's been active in this area and I'd bet our Marines and the Legionaires have more to do than paint buildings - they're just not telling us about the other stuff.

I spent a few months in Djibouti about 20 years ago. We were driving out in the desert to a Legionnaire camp on the Gulf of Tadjoura. Every few miles (I don't use the metric system), there were piles of white rocks. The Legionnaires had been out there, painting the rocks. The Djiboutian desert might as well be on the moon.
