Lake Albertine rift, where at least 20 oil fields have been discovered so far in three oil blocks.

Why is this a US mission and not NATO?

100 troops = $100 Million
100 troops = 500 contractors

What's in Uganda that our corps want access to?

"Uganda has substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, and sizable mineral deposits of copper and cobalt. The country has largely untapped reserves of both crude oil and natural gas. " - wikipedia

If any African terrorists stand in the way of our oil, we should give em quick justice. No mercy for 'em, I say !!
