Phone calls
Nobody seems to want to talk about this, especially the progressive liberal media: There are 6,000 American troops in all of Africa which consists of 53 countries. Their mission is to help prevent terrorist groups like ISIS, al Qaeda, Boko Haram and Al-Shabab from establishing bases of operation and to help train local military forces in how to fight off attempts by these groups to gain power and influence. The USA has had troops stationed in various parts of Africa for over 20 years. Of those 6,000 troops, half (3,000) are there for logistical support, supplies and other non-combat operations. Of the remaining 3,000, 800 were in Niger to help train locals. 4 were recently killed in an ambush of some kind. President Trump called the families of all four deceased service members, offering his condolences. Only one of those calls has made the news, that of the widow of Staff Sgt. La David Johnson. It made news due to the accusations of Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (D-Fla). Before her public accusations regarding Trump, little media coverage was given to personal communications to the families by Trump. Johnson's widow didn't initially go "public". Frederica Wilson did. She also claimed to have been "friends" with the Johnson family for "years". Recently, the brother of one of the other soldiers killed in this event respectfully requested that the Army investigate it as to the cause. He specifically stated that he doesn't blame the Army or Trump. He just would like to know how and why it happened. Media doesn't talk about that much. You have to go searching for it. Other Gold Star families, including wives of deceased have recently come forward offering their appreciation for personal calls by Trump to them and have said they were respectful, kind and welcomed. So, why is it that one Democrat Congresswoman from an overwhelmingly Democratic district in Florida, who has previously been on record as a critical opponent of Trump, including calls for his impeachment is the only one to make the news? |
