You should know, Trump has handed the complete fight against ISIS and associated terrorists to General Mattis. He has taken a complete hands off approach to it all. He has tasked the generals with the continued destruction of those that would try to harm us. That being said, the DOD has recently removed the total numbers of who is deployed where over the past year, because deployments (especially in the SPEC OPS community) has increased 10 fold. We are all over the place in Africa and in just about every country in the middle east now, not to mention the five thousand plus in Iraq and our ongoing operation in Afghanistan.

I know about Africa. Watched the helmet footage lifted from the dead Spec Ops guy that was uploaded to LiveLeak. I think it was five dead in four minutes. I thought ,”how easy it is to die”, yet I know ex military who are itching to advise and contract for big bucks.
