The US special forces detachment ambushed in the Niger last month fought alone for hours after the local Nigerien forces they were accompanying fled in the first minutes of the engagement, retired and serving special forces officers with knowledge of events have said. The trapped soldiers also made repeated efforts to convince French warplanes sent from neighbouring Mali to engage the enemy, attempting to “talk in” the pilots who refused to attack due to poor weather, rough terrain and an inability to differentiate friend from foe, the officers said. Four US soldiers and five Nigerien troops died in the incident, which has been the focus of an intense debate in Washington over the executive branch’s extensive powers to use military force abroad without congressional approval and with little oversight. The Niger incident has been described as an “intelligence failure” by the Republican senator John McCain, who blamed it on budget cuts. www.theguardian.com/world...lled-for-help-sources-say 100% Commander in Chief Trump's fault for not ordering the US military to leave. Bring the troops home, and let those there kill each other. President Trump needs to quit using Hillary & McCain foreign policy. R.I.P.

Poor weather under a CLEAR BLUE FRICKEN SKY? More "elite"itude from the French Commies. Yep. It's not clear why we're in Nigeria in the first place - let alone why we're depending on the French Poodle Dogs and their associates...

Ok,they weren't USSF soldiers. They were support troops assigned to SF,and whoever the idiot was that sent them off on that mission which they were TOTALLY unprepared to take on needs to be court-martialed and shot.
