Good God! Let's clean up our own house before we mess around with someone else's.
I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time paying attention.

Perhaps you need a celebrity and a catchy hashtag?

Well sir, maybe you're right. However, The objectives and the missions have always been clear and precise.

Move in and "take down and out" these scum lords forever.

The world is better for it.

If not now? then when? where's the dignity of not trying? we should just sit back and watch and see how this unfolds? we should just sit back and watch these young kids and children be oppressed or killed?

Look, you're entitled to you're valued opinion and it's appreciated, we're hitting a speed bump here and that's ok.

So, I'll leave you with this, there is a (chalk) unit some where's (FOB) waiting and ready for "the call" made up of (all branches) Tier- One, proven steely eyed Operators, jumping at the chance to save these kids from oppression and murder. And that's that.

Thank you
Knight

that's really a shame. I guess if we don't need those steely eyed operators to defend americans then we shouldn't be trying to prevent military budget cuts.

Did you read the MULTIPLE links I posted in the message above the one you quote from? Each of the organizations I cited have programs on the ground in the danger zones to rescue the abducted, provide services for the rescued, and MOST IMPORTANTLY lobby governments to mobilize law enforcement in danger zones. All of those activities cost money, of course. Where do you think that money will come from? Nigeria?

If Americans really want to help with something besides money, they could start in their own country — and other wealthy countries in Europe — to shut down the market for the slave trade. Women and children are kidnapped because there is a market for them. That's sick and the sickies who want to buy those people are citizens of first world countries.

that's wonderful. these worthless SOB's getting politicians to waste taxpayer money. why don't they just collect their own money and other people's donations and stop trying to steal the money from people that work for a living.

"oh I think my cause is so important that other people should be forced to pay for it!"

oh and I didn't read your links. feel free to post up some more links that I wont bother reading.

Let's get real. Only the US military, the British military, and any other nation that joins in will implement these programs effectively here and put a stop to this.

Let's get real again. In this instance, the enslaved girls will be going to polygamous Muslims, perhaps wealthy by Nigerian standards, but the buyers here are not Western nationals.

That was a good action thriller, in the sense that the actual villians *were* nearly all muslims, with only a few token Eurotrash thrown in. I am amazed "politically correct" but intellectually dishonest Commiewood made the film.

Expressing condolences is far different than sending national resources in the form of manpower and/or monetary resources.

We're the first to jump when there's a disaster somewhere, anywhere. We send money, we send troops, we send whatever we've got. It's time we minded our own business.

As much as I hate our military and tax dollars going for fighting elsewhere in the world, I would rather have our military fighting on foreign soil than knocking on our doors. Call me silly.
