Japan wants the US military base currently operating in Okinawa to leave, The US Military machine refuses to do so. Japan would have to resort to war to remove them The Japanese Prime Minister recently announced he would resign due to breaking a campaign promise to remove the base. Once allowed in the US Military parasite will never leave! NO TO AFRICON!!!

[ResearchKnowledge123]

AfriCON is an imperialistic powergrab of the First Order! The US can't secure its own homeland! now they propose to help Africa provide security? Yeah right! these resources should go to stopping the millions of mexicans entering the US illegally. It should go toward reducing the violence in American cities. Africa needs private sector investment only. Not a de-stabilizing military presence.

[Jeneral28]

Only when the US acts without imperialistic motives and w/o neo-liberal objectives will there not be criticisms of US presence

[Jeneral28]

Let face it. Neo-liberalism is still present in US foreign policy--military wise, economic-wise or political wise

[dmakau]

Please let these men and women come to our land and set up the infrastructure for us. we will be working closely with them and we will oversee the accountability for every action and/or inaction. I don't entirely agree with all US foreign policies but AFRICOM is going to bring more good than harm. "If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives...Do good anyway"

Hocus pocus crap. Kitchen negro selling out the continent. Did China and India need Chinacom and Indiacom to develop?!!!

@ZeitgeistGlobalist

AfricaCommand answer this mans question please..

[USAfricaCommand]

Where to begin? The "kitchen" quote aside, Africa is 54 countries, whereas China and India are each one, each of which works with U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM). Not on development, but on military-to-military issues. Go to PACOM Website and you'll see pages in Hindi and Mandarin Chinese.

@USAfricaCommand He was saying that India and China did not need US military presence to develop. it is irrelevant to tell us about US PACOM whose mission has been much different from yours.

[Jeneral28]

@ZeitgeistGlobalist I understand what you are getting at. but some African nations dont have strong militaries
