@Dazzle_3D said:

"Are you aware all of them, including medics and cooks, go through basic combat training? Maybe we will find out soon. Maybe."

@Biraphil noted:

"If any such thing as a strand of hair from the head of that US army who you call mechanic goes missing, you'll know that he is valued probably more than the way a colonel of the Nigerian army is valued."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that a Nigerian man serving with the United Nations peacekeeping mission, Falegan Opeyemi David of Ekiti, vowed on Facebook that he would resign rather than obey any order to fight in Nigeria if US President Donald Trump’s threat to send troops leads to UN involvement.

He said Ekiti is his life and source of strength, insisted he would never take part in an invasion of his homeland even if terrorists were the target, and warned that any US action that drags the UN in would directly involve him.
