I have to admit that I am concerned for the lives of the forces we send. The U.S. trained Guatemalan UN peacekeepers did not do well in 2006 against the LRA.

It would be a serious mistake to think that 100 US troops will be able to fully protect themselves in this conflict.
Kony is a law unto himself. He claims to run the LRA according to the Ten Commandments, but he and the hundreds of forcibly conscripted children who serve as his killing squads are feared throughout the region for their horrific levels of brutality and the butchery of tens of thousands of defenseless civilians.
Their swath of destruction has displaced well over’ 2 million people.’... Kony has forced new male recruits to rape their mothers and kill their parents. ...Former LRA members say the rebels sometimes cook and eat their victims.
