    Default US to send home some Saudi military students

    "WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is preparing to remove more than a dozen Saudi military students from a training program and return them to their home country after an investigation into a deadly shooting by a Saudi aviation student at a Florida navy base last month, a U.S. official told The Associated Press."

    Other than 'Truth Detector', does anyone want to fight Saudi Arabia's War for them?

    "The December shooting raised questions about how well international military students are screened before they attend training at American bases. Some lawmakers, including a top Republican ally of President Donald Trump, have called for Saudi Arabia to be suspended from an American military training program."

    Ding! Ding! Ding!

    Is that just Saudi Arabia or all the nations we sell weapons systems to and train their forces how to use and maintain them?

    My beef is with Saudi Arabia and how the US seems to coddle these assholes. The whole idea to become 'Energy Independent' is so we can detach ourselves from these backward religious nut jobs.

    I tend to agree. But sadly we need bases in the ME and Saudi Arabia is centrally located.

    Let the Saudis guard their own Interests. Let them expend their Blood & Treasure rather than ours.
    It amazes me how the same people that hate Islamists, are the same people that want to spend US Blood & Treasure on protecting them.
