As long as you feel the same way about US toops being in foreign countries, you have a good point.

UN Peacekeeping Forces are made up of military personnel from every UN country in the world. They are probably in the US for training.

The UN Charter stipulates that to assist in maintaining peace and security around the world, all member states of the UN should make available to the Security Council necessary armed forces and facilities. Since 1948, close to 130 nations have contributed military and civilian police personnel to peace operations.

someone will go tell some lies-- and say we have been invaded by foreign soldiers-- masked as UN peacekeepers... and Obama was golfing during 911

Training. Happens every so many years. Happened 18 years ago at the base where my husband was stationed, it was kind of interesting seeing them at the PX and the food court.

uhm

UN Troops = 86,000 World wide troops from 130 countries

Our military and police personnel are first and foremost members of their own national services and are then seconded to work with the UN.

They come from nations large and small, rich and poor. They bring different cultures and experience to the job, but they are united in their determination to foster peace.

here is a break down of the troops

They're probably here in the US, on Obama's request, to be stationed at polling places with orders to keep The Deplorables away.


Seriously, with Obama, nothing surprises me any more.

They are probably here for training on how not to rape the locals or spread ebola when they get deployed.

O was in the Illinois Senate on 9/11 and not involved in national politics.

He might have been golfing with Trump.
