U.S. President Donald Trump may withdraw nearly all U.S. forces from Somalia in the near future, U.S. officials allegedly said on Tuesday.
“The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said nothing had been finalized and that no orders for Somalia have been received by the U.S. military. But there appeared to be a growing expectation that drawdown orders would be coming soon,” Reuters reported.
The U.S currently has roughly 700 troops stationed in Somalia to assist local forces in their efforts to defeat the Al Qaeda-linked Al Shabaab terror group.

What is the objective of these operations, besides durability?

I have a friend who was an Air Force MP, who spent a little time in Somalia. He got out about a month before the 'Black Hawk Down' incident.
He said it was the scariest place he'd ever been.

Why do we have troops in Somalia?
We should not sent troops to any place that we do not intend to obliterate and whose population we do not intend to exterminate.
Soldiers are for destroying things and killing people.
Anything else is law enforcement and we have no laws in any other country.

In my opinion there is no objective. They don’t care if we’re there one way or the other.

Somalia is a third world hell hole run by murderers and rapists - not a nice place.

...we have no laws in any other country. Somalia doesn't have its own laws in its country.

There's a good sized Somali population here in northern Colorado, they all work at the Swift plant.
Doing jobs the illegal Mexicans are too scared to do after the ICE raid.
