My Comment: Another war in which US forces are now involved. President Obama's letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner on this deployment is here.
What is my take .... the LRA is actively involved in two other countries (South Sudan, and The Congo). Are US troops going to enter these countries? Personally .... I hope not. This conflict has been going on for years, and getting involved in Africa's tribal conflicts is one that we should avoid.
