If it does, they better not think that a few barbaric acts, battlefield drug abuse, and a total lack of air and armor support will save them this time.

It is time to show them what the power of combined arms can do.

Stupid Question Department: Whose side are the Ethiopians on? Are they on the islamists or the warlords? Are they on their own side and if they found themselves between the two factions, attack in both directions? I need a program for this show.
