This is a significant increase in the IMET program..it budgets for training foreign soldiers in the US in our military and civilian schools..in some cases civilians are sent to courses in work in the government.

This includes the Command and General Staff College; the War College;..West Point;..Infantry Officer; Training;..Ranger Training.

English Language Training is the first step. Some of the foreign students are authorized to bring their families..and we pay for it.

Worked IMET and Foreign Military Sales for 6 years.

There was a famous IMET student..few know about..a young officer named Muammar Gaddafi.

Some of these military students will be Muslims.

Djibouti, Ethiopia

I'm as skeptical, and maybe more so, than your average citizen as to the foreign relation of this administration, but I am aware that the Horn of Africa (HOA,) is less than 20 miles from Yemen - a radical Islamic bridge into Africa, and one with which our military has strategically place itself.

Oh well, sell them American stuff, they will use it, never maintain it and when it soon fails, discard it alongside the road.

Most of them will probably be Muslims, and many of them will be supporters of whatever hideous regime is in place in their countries. But why should we expect otherwise from Barry, who said he would “stand with the Muslims.” Using our dollars to lean against, of course.

Gee! Who knew Obama approved of fratricide! Now even more civil wars can be conducted, and even more African dictators can enrich themselves on our dime.

I think our Pres may admire Robert Mugabe. After all dear Robert came to power in Rhodesia, spouting conciliatory platitudes and only gradually turned the one African country with good schools and hospitals, well run agriculture, and splendid resources, into today's third world cesspool called Zimbabwe--and, incidentally, himself as permanent dictator.

This amount does not include civic action programs and USAID..this is Foreign Military Training programs. It is different than other government programs.

They will get excess military equipment we have in our inventory at no cost.

We are building up their military by training and equipping them on our tax dollars.

These countries make a request for training and equipment..the budget was not high in the past

This does not include the military in Egypt.

What do ya think ... does Obama's dual Citizenship affect his agenda, judgment, and decision-making as CinC?

If we have to go to war with an east African nation, how would that affect the CinC's agenda, judgment, and decision-making with America's interests?

Yeah, Africa needs more weapons. Doesn’t the continent have enough bloodshed already?

Obama will send American dollars out of this country for any reason he can find. He believes that America has become wealthy by exploiting third world nations like those in Africa and Indonesia, where he grew up.

If Barack Obama and the Democrats are not removed from office in November America will soon become poor and weak. When we become weak enough all of the those who have hated us for so long will come for our blood.

In order to be the president of the United States, you have to be a natural born citizen so your loyalties are to this country. If you were born in, say, Kenya, your loyalties would be for Africa.

Attention Journalism majors:
If some quantity "increases by" 100%, it doubles.
If it "increases by" 200%, it triples.
It must actually quadruple to "increase by" 300%.

Thus, Obama's spending increase in the ability for Africans to slaughter themselves rising from $8.2M to $25.5M is calculated this way:
25.5 - 8.2 = 17.3
17.3 / 8.2 (the difference divided by the original amount) = 2.1097 ~ an increase of 211%.

The new total is 311% of the original amount. It is not an increase of 311%.

Please, do some rudimentary research before writing your "facts", and learn some basic math. Please.
