Put them on on own border.
We do have them on our own border, but all they are allowed to do is support border patrol.
I'm certain those soldiers and their families are thrilled and proud and totally not bothered that their families are being broken up so that US citizen-soldiers and tax dollars can protect, or whatever, the far-away place they're being sent to.
Prime example of how ass backwards our policies are
We've had Army NG there for some time. These guys will be relieving the ones who've bee there since this past spring.
I wonder if Cambridge Springs, as a city or county, is considered majority Republican?
Punishment?
Fetterman?
It's a fine line between force protection and force projection.
Horn of Africa = Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Djibouti
Lovely.
Lucky they won't be near Drambuie.
We all 'know' that the Horn of Africa poses a deadly threat to the USA.
I know, I know, it is really the Red Sea that the USA wants to dominate, and the Horn is handy for that. Something, something - the decades-old Israeli agenda to dig an alternative to the Suez canal, since they are still butt-hurt over losing that fight (1956).
However, Djibouti, especially is very dangerous to citizens of the USA /s:
(As stated by the CIA) https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/djibouti/#:~:text=Djibouti%20is%20a%20poor%2C%20predominantly,subsists%20primarily%20on%20nomadic%20herding.
So, USA will be once again, bombing starving children and goat-farmers. just think of all that juicy human trafficking though! And once again we catch the 'strategists' thinking in Big Arrow offensives. LOL
A guy that was in our fire dept and is a neighbor was deployed in Djibouti for a year. Didn’t say much about what he did aside from being navy and stuck onshore in a sand filled shithole. He says it was supporting activities in the Gulf of Aden, anti pirate, etc.
Does that mean we can expect the attack from the illegal aliens coming across our southern border in the next 9 months?
