Since posting the Drones Of War* just yesterday( I have read a most important article about the war in Africa 'How 'Benghazi' Birthed The New Normal In Africa.**  I find this article to be a MUST READ!  It not only gives credence to what is said in The Drones Of War, but adds considerably to it.

Here is an excerpt:
"While daily US troop strength continent-wide hovers in the relatively modest range of 5,000 to8,000 personnel, an under-the-radar expansion has been constant, with the US military nowconducting operations alongside almost every African military in almost every African country andaveraging more than a mission a day."
