According to the information provided, the US Army (along with the forces of the Government of Somalia and other countries of the African Union) has increased in recent months the number of air and ground operations against jihadists in Somalia and other countries of the Horn of Africa.

    They would go to their states, and then where the Yankees are, only war and blood. It’s better to fight in your own state. ..

    US ground forces have not traditionally been involved in the operation
    Ironing from the air, so that the earth burns everyone in a row, and cities with double pleasure are a distinctive feature of the United States. And ground forces are not used because their fosterlings on the ground practically do not touch them. In addition, there was someone to send into battle - the Kurds, who were considered "allies".
