democracynow.org - We continue to examine the U.S. military presence in Africa, and what happened during the ambush of U.S. special forces by militants in the west African nation of Niger, which is now the subject of a military and FBI investigation. We are joined from Luanda, Angola by Horace Campbell, who is currently spending a year in West Africa as the Kwame Nkrumah Chair at the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana. He is a peace and justice scholar and Professor of African American Studies and Political Science at Syracuse University.

I think this is the first time I've ever seen footage from a soldiers funeral. They don't usually release this. So sad :( Lesson- Don't let your kids join the military! They are fighting illegal oil wars and have for decades!

No, I think he means keep reading all the time if your school sucks. I studied four hours a night in high school and college! Young men are not as successful in school as women, and they are growing resentful. Hence all these law changes that attack women. The MIC/DOD/GOP/DHS and I believe the Church are the ones running the US. They NEED women and girls to be ignorant of reproduction b/c the sooner they have kids, the more likely they will be in poverty. Then their kids only option for higher education is the MIC! There's enough evidence based on the history of the Republican Party that this is what is going on! They are using religion to suck people into voting for the GOP and against themselves and the nation! Fox news is an extension of the GOP party, promoting racism. If they nation knew what was REALLY going on, our veterans and militias would be at the capital, removing members of Congress to prison. I don't know how these people LIVE with themselves!
