We already have troops in Uganda to give the government "information" on fighting the LRA rebels. Not sure if this is an addition or a rotationof forces there or not |

My soldier friends are not telling me anything... Either they don't know or I'm on a need to know basis and obviously don't need to know.... Well.... Guess I will snoop around when I get back home to KS... If you hear anything Kenny!? I'm all ears... I mean eyes... |

Kenny's right, there are troops in Uganda, to fight the Islamists in the Horn. There is also Africom, which is the US joint command with an African Contingency. I believe, however, that this deployment may be to Mali to bolster the African force which is about to engage the Islamists that have taken the northern half of Mali and destroyed Timbuktu. |

Unbelievable what is going on there now in Mali. Mali had such a vibrant music scene and now the music has died. The Islamists are destroying their culture bit by bit. |
