News flash to CBS! -- The US has been involved in about 120 countries, fighting terrorism at some level, since 9/11.
As you say...easily accessible info for anyone who listens above the stupidity din of the MSM.
I read a GREAT book called "Imperial Grunts" which talks about these members of our military involved in a lot of places that...just don't make the news.
Then when one of the ignoramuses in the MSM figures it out, they report (As Rush Limbaugh is fond of parodying) "PANT PANT PANT...WE HAVE A TROOP PRESENCE IN...ALL KINDS OF PLACES THE GOVERNMENT ISN'T TELLING US ABOUT, LIKE MONGOLIA...PANT PANT PANT.
They are, beyond pathetic.
It has been reported for many days now that the US has been off the coast to support those fighting the Islamists. Nothing new really, just good that we are supporting the people that are pushing out the Islamo nuts!Now , we can do this in Iraq too.
