Sen. McCain pushes for U.S. troops in Nigeria
It's been exactly one month today since Boko Haram terrorists attacked a school in Nigeria, kidnapping nearly 300 girls.
A prominent American politician is now joining a call for U.S. troops to be on the ground in Nigeria.
U.S. support to Nigeria beset by complications
"I would utilize every tool that we have to rescue these young girls." Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told reporters. "And that means it would be done surgically, it could be done in a way that is very efficient, but for us not to do that, in my view, would be an abrogation of our responsibilities."
Do you agree with Sen. McCain? Should the United States send troops to Nigeria to rescue hundreds of girls abducted by Boko Haram?

Troops to Nigeria – yes! Save the children....but what happens when the vetereans return? VA Hospitals are a sham!
People in Michigan who have retired from jobs with GM are now applying for and getting full VA pensions!!! What's wrong with the system. If you can work 30+ years and get a GM pension from a Saginaw plant, how can you compare yourself to a veterean who has served and loss arms and legs???? Something is very, very wrong with the VA program.
