"the Department of State and the Department of Defense to develop jointly and submit to Congress a five-year strategy to help Nigeria, membersofthe Multinational Joint Task Force to Combat Boko Haram, and relevant partners to counter Boko Haram,
and to assist Nigeria ..."
Fun fact: Niger and Nigeria are not the same country.
Fun fact 2: Your bolding doesn't delete the text you didn't bold. I bolded the relevant text for you. Niger is a member of the MJTF and a relevant partner.
Is there going to be an investigation every time one of our servicemen/woman are killed in a war? I mean, its a war! Casualties are going to happen. So we can go abroad to kill people but we have to find someone to blame if one of ours is killed?
Many, if not most, Spec Ops missions are covert or clandestine. You might be surprised to know how successful these untold missions actually go off as planned and produce the intended results.
You only hear about those that are made public.
It is all about politics. Most special operations went very well. You will never hear anything about them. Most infantry guys (those who have actually seen combat) are awesome warriors, they all have impressive stories to share, you don't hear anything about them either.
I don't think SEALs are the best, (compare to other special forces) They all do different things. I don't think only Marines are the few, the proud. ( I just love them the most) but truth is All military branches are badasses.
There are a lot of true warriors, but you will never hear anything about them; there are a lot of heroes lost their lives in battlefield, you don't hear about them either. I know a family lost two sons in war, no, you won't see them on TV.

China is taking over the traditional US military role in Africa, the Indian Ocean, and the South China Sea.
Some of us took note when China sailed a fleet into the Mediterranean --a clear "sea change" of how China now views their role in the world. That was reminiscent of Teddy Roosevelt's "Great White Fleet," and served the same warning to the world.
While many will say, "Good! Let China handle it!" the reality is that it's across-the-board leadership in the world that makes all other "good deals" possible.
Just because they are stupid doesn't mean we have to be. let them waste their lives and resources.
I don't think they are stupid.
African economies are growing rapidly, and Chinese companies can capitalize on this opportunity. Nations like Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia now have a fast growing middle class, and given that demand for Chinese goods have somewhat saturated in the European and American market, the African economies can provide new outlet for growth.
Plus, don't forget about the Mineral reserves. African nations like Congo and Sudan are rich in minerals, and a rapidly expanding economy like China can use some secure sources of mineral reserves.
Plus, Chinese government always takes all methods to shape the image of a suppressed leader of poor countries. Of course, we are the big bad America.

I never said that I have a problem with doing business in Africa.

We are the ones with the military in countless countries killing people and destroying their country, not China.
