Of all the various places in the world the US military has sent me to, the Horn of Africa is hands down the shittiest in every conceivable metric. That place is a lost cause.......for all causes.

The only thing we should deploy to Somalia is an ICBM.

That would be an improvement

Should a racist country, chock-full of white supremacy in every way, really be sending people with military-grade, assault-style rifles to oppress the Blafricans?

Wasn't the sticking point on the Saudis increasing production was that we weren't helping out with rebels in the area?

I don't  think the Houthi's make it across the Gulf of Aden  to HOA. Somalia  is still a pirate base, and spawns north African violence.
