U.S. forces killed an estimated 52 members of the militant Islamic terrorist group al Shabab in airstrikes in Jilib, Somalia, on Saturday, U.S. Africa Command reported.

"U.S. Africa Command conducted the airstrike in response to an attack by a large group of al-Shabaab militants against Somali National Army Forces," U.S. Africa Command, the branch of the military that coordinates with allies on the continent, said in a statement. The strike was part of a broader effort to prevent the terrorist group from "taking advantage of safe havens from which they can build capacity and attack the people of Somalia."

I think Trumps letting the military hit them wherever regardless of collateral damage.....and I have no problem with that. Like treating cancer you kill it and unfortunately you get good cells hurt and damaged along with it.

Oh no doubt about it.....Trumps biting like a gator when it comes to these ISIS cowards...and our guys have no problem taking them out.

Trump just buried four of our great warriors.....he’s going to make them pay and then some without question......

Can you imagine once Trumps terms are over what we will learn and the great stories written then!

#5. You misspelled their fate. It should have been ‘ASH KABOBS’.

A good B-52 strike doesn’t leave anyone alive so if there were more than 52 jihadists killed (out of a group), chances are the others were wounded, blown to itty-bitty kabob bites too and not included in the head/body count, or very lucky bastards who got away, for now.

(Enclosed in an oval: In Somalia, there is no such thing as collateral damage” - Pres. Trump)

Question: “Did they get Pelosi and her travelling circus of traitors and fools”? Singing “Dream On”, damn it.

As for the jihadists, we dedicate Stevie Tyler’s new song to them - “Drone on”!

Thanks caww. And to our military, Nice shootin'. It would have been nice to have been 57 terrorists killed, to commemorate Zero's "57 states".

Yep. I would say, there is a better than even chance, that this was a Reaper drone strike(s) Since they are controlled from Nevada, the good guys can reach out and touch the bad guys, from a LONG way off.
