Gumshoes and REMF's won't help.

The TV news is playing up the dispatch of a dozen American "experts" to Nigeria to "help" recover the kidnapped Nigerian girls.  Sorry O, that won't help.  Makes you look wimpy on TV.
  What's needed is about a hundred good soldiers, and the helicopters to lift them.  And a location.  The location the girls are held at.  The choppers land the troops just out of gun shot of the location, the troops move in and shoot anyone who fails to put their hands up in the air.  Choppers provide fire support as needed.  Then fly the girls out to safety.   Repeat as necessary until all the girls are freed.
   So why don't we do this? Do we secretly support Boko Haram?  Lack of guts?  Too many REMF's and not enough soldiers?  Multiculturalism? 
   You don't know what REMF means?  Old service acronym for Rear Echelon M_____ F_____.
