SERGEANTS KILLED IN NIGER

Recently it came to me that all the Americans killed in Niger were sergeants.  I find it strange that so many sergeants are being killed in the recent wars.  I wrote a poem about it back in 2011 The Sergeants:

I've also been surprised that congressmen are so surprised at what is going on in Africa.  Certainly even I knew in general though not exactly the number of troops.  I wrote a piece on Africa and referred to it that we are in a low-level world war: http://stopcontinentaldrift.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-war-in-Africa-update.html
