Training the locals to stop ISIS from getting a foothold so we don’t have to do the heavy lifting.
The ISIS cockroaches being defeated in Syria are trying to set up a new caliphate in Africa.
I’d rather just patrol it with Predators and drop a Hellfire on every jihad camp, and not risk American lives on the fool’s errand of training the locals.
The local forces are our allies by day, and ISIS by night.
How many generations do we have to train before a wee little bit sinks in? We've been digging their water wells and latrines for how many centuries and they still haven't learned which end of the shovel to use.
