U.S. enters war in Uganda, Sudan, Congo

Why do I have to pay for the policing of the world?

A legitimate concern to be certain, very distinct from paying to kill our enemies.

Just because we have our boys training up others does not mean that we will escalate our involvement beyond training.

We have ODAs all around the globe training up foreign troops so they can kill our enemies for us. Is this not in the best interest of our country?

Training others, as opposed to direct involvement, is precisely what we should be doing. (Provided there's justification to get involved at any level.) Even though Obama caught some flack over it, providing support in Libya was a much better approach than getting directly involved. I find it interesting how the Europeans complained about not having the assets to properly execute the Libyan mission.

A legitimate concern to be certain, very distinct from paying to kill our enemies.

Profound.

If you guys have enemies in Uganda, pony up some checks and send them out there.

For just $499.99 per day, you can help train an African rebel to oppose Kony.

You have enemies in Uganda too. The United States of America has enemies in Uganda and in places that have Ugandan troops in them, e.g. Somalia.

One ODA (working with SAD) can train Ugandan trainers (FID missions) who then in turn train line Ugandan troops who then kill our enemies without expending any U.S. blood, an enormous force multiplier. As one of my close friends called his ODA--"teachers with guns".

Think of how many people would not have to die for nothing if Ron Paul was the president.

Well, he ain't. But I don't think it would be as lacking in bloodshed as you think. It would just be in a different place under different circumstances.
