Apparently were working with a group of Somali and Kenyan troops 350km SW of Mogadishu. Al Shabaab attacked with mortars and small arms.
RIP.

Why are we even still in these shitholes? Hate to say it but Obama was doing something right when he was droning the crap out of everyone.
I know it's usually special forces and things like that but we need to knock off this joint coalition crap because it never works.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

I'd rather drone them to death or AC-130 the crap out of them than spend the lives of the people who are literally "the best" we can send. I understand that is where the bad people are but I simply don't know that it is worth the lives of any American soldier let alone the best ones we have.
And ironic that you mention 9-11 as the idea was born from us screwing around in Somalia and showing a lack or resolve following the Blackhawk Down incident. Were we not "nation building" in Somalia with Boutros Boutros, Al Quida might never have believed it possible to attack us in the way they did.

Isn't Somalia already a terrorist haven?
If you ask for help clearing the terrorists out of an area, the support has to be in place to extract and provide indirect fires for covering the force on the ground.
I'm all for droning the crap out of these guys and then the host Nation provides everything necessary or available they have.
If we need more than what is available, we need to take another evaluation as in risk vs reward.
We've been unpleasantly surprised like this a couple of times now.
Do we need more hardware on the ground to support these missions or do the Nation's we send aid to need more commitment?

Who knows how any of it would’ve gone down. It doesn’t really matter. If we stay out of everyone’s shit and just let the rest of the world collapse, then there are major groups and people that we have to deal with when we finally decide it needs to happen. If we spread forces throughout the world we can slow the growth, but are more susceptible to this kind of stuff. Either way, we will be fighting. They could have all of the backing and assets in the world, eventually one of the bastards will get lucky and get one of ours. That’s just how it is.
