The Federalist Papers "In his 2016 run for the White House, then-candidate Donald Trump promised to always look out for our troops and if at all possible, avoid needless, costly wars that only serve to put our young men and women in harm’s way for no good reason.
"He also pledged to bring our troops home as quickly and as safely as possible.
"Luckily for the troops and for their friends, families and loved ones back home, Trump held true to that promise during his entire stay in the White House and came through once again with a huge announcement about the status of U.S. troops currently serving in the third-world country of Somalia.
"According to Newsmax, on Friday Trump announced that he is removing a vast majority of U.S. military forces from Somalia. Troops stationed in the area have conducted operations against the Al-Shabaab militant group and have taken part in training Somalian forces.
"The Pentagon report stated that the president “has ordered the Department of Defense and the United States Africa Command to reposition the majority of personnel and assets out of Somalia by early 2021.' ”
. . "While some* have criticized the withdrawal of troops from terrorist hotbeds like Somalia and Afghanistan, it’s probably safe to say that Trump’s expert military advisers, including America’s military generals, have thought of these scenarios and wouldn’t put troops or Americans in harm’s way unless they had a solid plan.." *CNN-ish types?
