Someone with left over clearance in obama’s regime must be selling our men out.
There sure is a lot of military crap going on in Niger. Obammyies own little war going on there. Too bad the only ones getting killed are our guys.
We should never be sending units into harms way without fo’s and some rotary wing air support. Even if it’s could be only (type to be determined) helicopter That includes drone bases.
France is our ally?
I wouldn’t beat up the French too bad
They did take longer than one would hope for
But we don’t know the logistics and govt overlay involved
The French did though send operators to help on the ground
The only reason we know about this is folks died
One of my buddies is a retired green beanie E-8
Man they do so much stuff nobody knows about
Like poacher patrol in Kenya and Tanzania where poachers are truly heeled like technicals
Or any ops in Central America
Or assisting in the fight against FARC and ELN in Colombia
Just stuff nobody writes about
Seems like a big screw-up all the way around.
President Trump has been CIC from 20 JAN...8 months.
Just sayin’....
So buzzing them with jets stopped the attack.
I wonder how that would have worked at Benghazi?
Odd that France would deploy both of her fighter jets to Niger....
Where were our planes and helicopters and drones?
Someone decided to save money over lives?
