You are an idiot.


We sent in 2300 Marines as a peacekeeping force into Liberia, and there were concerns (of a number of Washington and Pentagon leaders) of possible deaths of Americans in that conflict. 2300 Marines is more than half the total number of U.S. soldiers who have died in 5 years. Similar actions included Haiti, Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo.

You're an idiot for not acknowledging commitment of resources, and the potential risk, any time U.S. forces are deployed.

And that it was a deployment of U.S. forces for a nation that doesn't have oil resources to exploit.
