John McCain blames Niger killings on budget cuts: 'We should be embarrassed'

I can't stand politicians. To quote one of them, "…Blumenthal said. The American people need to know why we have 6,000 U.S. troops in Africa." With all due respect, they do not need to know the details. During the second half of the 20th century, we had troops deployed worldwide to prevent the spread of a dangerous ideology. Today, it's a different ideology, but even more dangerous and our armed forces are the only thing that can prevent its infestation. Good men and women will die protecting and preserving our way of life, but we, few, know that when we sign on the dotted line and raise our hands to swear our oath. Just worry about properly funding our military and holding our foreign partners accountable to join the fight.
