OMG, I'm so done with these military reorg plans 
! Like, what's next? They're just gonna swap one hot mess for another 
. Africa and Western Hemisphere are not even in the same timezone, let alone have similar issues 
. It's all about blowback and more terrorism, folks 
. And don't even get me started on the whole "equal partners" thing - like, we know how that turns out in practice 
. Can't they just try diplomacy and stuff instead of sending in the troops? 
I mean, it's not like it's gonna be all sunshine and rainbows but come on, is it really worth risking more lives and resources?

this is crazy stuff... I mean, how can you just move your military's focus from Africa to the Western Hemisphere? Like, haven't they learned anything from their experiences there? The numbers are insane - 155k deaths in Africa alone over a decade. And now they're gonna try it again in a whole new region? Interesting 
. I mean, just because they're reorganizing their strategy in Africa doesn't mean they'll be successful 
. We've seen time and time again that US military efforts in Africa are more like a recipe for disaster 
. The number of fatalities and blowback is just too high, and it's not like they're learning from their mistakes 
. I fear that if they stick to this approach, we'll be seeing more of the same failures in the Western Hemisphere 
. It's just common sense that a war paradigm isn't gonna solve anything 
...
. I mean, it sounds like they're just moving the problem around instead of actually fixing it. Downgrading combatant commands doesn't seem like a good idea - what's going to happen to those troops on the ground? And merging all these commands into a single AMERICOM sounds like a recipe for disaster 
they already have a crappy record there and now they wanna focus on western hemi? that's just gonna lead to more problems, imo 
think they should try something new instead of just shuffling things around. Erik Sperling makes some good points about needing to engage with other nations as equals, not just trying to solve their problems with force
