News from Somalia
Weren’t we in Somalia a while back? I think we were. Might have been a Tuesday.
If what is going on there is a civil war, I think that’s the wrong term for it. It is just constant, overwhelming destruction of everything.
The morning news is that there was another car bomb in Mogadishu which badly damaged a hotel. Some of the residents were fooled into leaving their rooms by the perps, who then killed them.

I would hardly use the term war-torn for that country any more. It is insufficient.

Send our folks that yearn for “anarchy” over to Somalia to get a better understanding of that concept.
I guess they never read any medieval history.
Concur.
Send all of the naïve, clueless protesters who are running around wearing the ‘hammer and sickle’, destroying private property and private businesses and seeking anarchy over to Somalia for a taste of what real anarchy is REALLY like. Methinks that they’ll find that actual anarchy is not the Utopia that they think that it will be.
Meanwhile, us deplorable capitalists will continue to uphold the rule of law and revel in the fact that the Dow is now up over 20,000. Cha-ching$$$!!! Take that, anarchist wannabes!

Go Team Trump! Dow 20K! 🙂
Oh, my! I missed that!
I was busy finding news from foreign countries for you all to take in.
I don’t normally miss that kind of thing. Holy cow!
Yes indeed, Ex-PH2! Some of the best financial news that we’ve had in a very long time!
And that being said, when do you think that Herr Kommissar will show up today to scold us for being happy about this news and then commence to lecture us on the evils of capitalism?
When? Probably not until he’s had at least three half-caff whipped soy lattes and a cruller.
And I agree, sending all our ‘oppressed’, protesting, self-hating proggies and their ilk over there and making them stay for a year is a very good idea.
If not Somalia, I’d also offer them their choice of Syria,Sudan, Liberia or Yemen.
Comrade Dickless? Fuck that guy.
Spent a few months in lovely Kismaayo in early 1993. Shithole then, shithole now. Nice beaches though. Napalm the entire country and start over.
I member Kismaayo, B-41 ENGR. Good times.
Word
Worked on Somalia when i was stationed on the continent. It was most frustrating.
You cannot bring peace to those who are uncivilized.
For what reason ought we even be there? What aspect of national security – our national security – is involved there?
I understand the desire to stop the suffering of innocents. But if we were to really do that, it would require a total take-over of the country and at least 40 years of enforced civilization and education. We don’t have the will for that.
We don’t have the will, and they don’t want it, either. Hey, what’s the predominant religion in Somalia again? Something that rhymes with aloha snackbar?
I was one of the Marines sent to try to pacify that third world shithole back in 1992-93. There were no intact buildings, let alone any hotels or such then. The only adequate way to describe the Somalis there was savages. Only similarity to civilized humans was they wore pants, had a language and opposable thumbs. Other than that pretty much total wastes of human life. Make no mistake about this: they are the way they are because THEY WANT TO BE.
If memory serves the British encountered the same problems in that region back in the 19th century…
Seems like a good place for testing some of those aging nukes we have in inventory… just saying..
Where is the outrage from the women’s march and their sponsors on the treatment of women in Somalia?
Maybe they could take a trip over there and see what real oppression is.
Some people and places cannot be civilized and I offer Somalia as one example.
I nominate Chicago for the runner up….
I have an idea. Sometimes I have several, but this was suggested by several people.
Why not charter a couple of planes, put out the word via the twitterpating thingy that there is ‘work to be done in Somalia’, load ’em up, and drop them off there. And then leave quickly.
We’ll how long they last.
Great idea.
Their first question will be “What’s in it for me?” Their self loathing and hypocrisy only goes so far.
I don’t see the members of the Free Shit Army/SJW’s wanting to do a lot of work there… it’ll take them away from important stuff, like organizing butthurt symposiums, “safe spaces”, lists of “triggers” and all sorts of “injustices” that they perceive.
Try to imagine the SJW howler monkeys holding a protest against the social injustices over there.
Try no to fall down laughing when you do.
Do we still have a base there, or was it shut down? The entire country is just rubble and not much else.
We still have an active base in Djibouti, Camp Lemonnier. They could easily be flown there and given a bus ride to the border a few miles away. I’m sure they’d be perfectly fine marching the rest of the way to Mogadishu on their own. That’d be something to see too.
We actually have troops and a base or two already there. We built a small jump base there a couple of years ago and still keep sending small Detachments there.Camp Lemonnier is just the main element.

Offer forgiveness of college loans and free birth control for life if they stay a whole year.
They already have free birth control for life and college loan repayment is $50/month, on average.
Offer them nothing, sacrifice for the cause.
You forgot to mention that their free birth control is that they are so fugly nobody would want to screw them…
We could always airlift the entire Somalian population and settle them in Minnesota. That worked out so well before. /sarc
What do you have against Minnesota?
