Now we just need to send Omar back there. How she ever got into congress is beyond me.

[Mariner]

All most all is not enough.

What possible US interests are there in Somalia?

[MagUSNRET]

Send the million or 2 that came with her back, too, please!!

[Little Ray]

Hurrah!
Bring ‘em all home.

[A Navy Vet]

Yes, pull them out and let the SEAL and Delta teams do their worse when needed on ground. Then there are Air Force ground controllers, drones and other hi-tech. Just cut the head off of every savage terrorist leader that pops up.

This fight against Muslim radicals will never end, but we don't need divisions on ground nowadays with our intel, experienced SpecOps, and technology to keep them at bay.

[Salvavida]

Some really good operations. For a while now.

[Vigilanteman]

Absolutely no reason to keep any here unless they had a direct role in saving or assisting American Troops. That would be about two dozen of them, tops.

Somalia has the population density of Colorado and the climate of southern California. They should be taking refugees, not exporting them.

[miserare]

Good!

We must stop defending third world s***holes.

[metmom]

GOOD.

And send back all Somalis living in the US, especially those holding political office since they hate the US so much. They can go back home and I’d be happy for the US to pay their one way airfare.

[Gritty]

Now we are getting rid of the Americans in Somalia, can we please get rid of the Somalis in America?

Neither group has any business being where they are now.

[glorgau]

Why leave _any_ troops there? Are they being used as some kind of local police squad? What is their function?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Wait hold up, we had troops in Minnesota, since when??

[DesertRhino]

If we are not in Somalia, the Chinese will be in charge of Khat production worldwide, and we will lose our source of immigrants to Minnesota and Congress.

[Mark17]

And send back all Somalis living in the US,

Most of them, yes, but not all. In California, I knew a nurse from that part of Africa. She was a naturalized US citizen, and was a US Air Force reserve Captain, and a flight nurse, on Air Force ambulance aircraft. I admired her. She didn’t believe anything that Ilhan Omar believes. But Omar? I would gladly buy her a one way ticket, back to that crap hole country.

[metmom]

As long as their loyalty is not to islam first, then I could cut them some slack.

[Mark17]

Wait hold up, we had troops in Minnesota, since when??

Minnesota, where I spent most of my time, while growing up, wasn’t always a Somali crap hole, like it is now. 😁 The 148th Fighter Wing (flying F-16s) is at Duluth. 👍 Right now, however, unless things change, and I doubt they will, Minnesota is a lost cause. 👎
I knew another air traffic controller, at Travis AFB, CA. He was from Minnesota, and moved back there, and is a supervisor in the control tower, at Minneapolis International airport. He says Minneapolis is a crap hole city. He also worked at San Jose, CA tower, but doesn’t want to go back to California. 😩

[grey_whiskers]

Can they transfer the US troops from “real Somalia” to the “little Somalia” parts of Minneapolis while they’re at it, LOL?

[SuperLuminal]

To make this fair, every American soldier removed from Somalia should be replaced with 150 of the Somalian vermin in MN...

[EvilCapitalist]

Not a bad idea.
