I don’t see how anyone has problems with this. If we can use our vast military logistics to support a country that appears to have a constitutionally elected government in what was perceived as a fair election. These are more muzzies killing Christians in this scenario.

As for those of you who want to make fun of the French and their military, I can tell you that the French people are very proud of their military and the Legion Estranger (Foreign Legion) is an outstanding military unit.

If you want to complain about something, it should be that these Euroweenies spend all of their money on socialistic cradle to grave programs and one of the reasons is because they enjoy our free military support. The French owned much of North Africa including this territory at one time so I can see how they have a very close relationship here. However, we need to start sending them a bill or they need to cut down on the social programs so they can have a proper military like they used to when they owned this part of the world.

Just wait a minute here...

Our corrupt government refuses to protect and secure our own borders, yet you have no problem with sending our military into Africa to help protect and secure them?

Problem #1 with gov't is that they use our vast resources to do things that they have absolutely no business doing while America goes down the tank. Why not get our own house in order regarding the border and economy before we go around the world helping those less fortunate than ourselves? We're rapidly becoming "less fortunate than ourselves" on a daily basis.

It appears that the French dropped their opposition to the Iran nuke deal in exchange for U.S. help in Africa. For the French, it was an easy way to get something for nothing. Note how surprised we were that France opposed the Iran deal. Well here's the reason. They set up a roadblock to get bought off.
