    While technically correct, and I do not wish to downplay the risk that these individuals are facing, but somehow the headline (which I have seen various places) "US Troops in Liberia" seems a bit overblown for the deployment of seven marines, with a potential max of twenty.

    If, God forbid, we happen to lose one of our Marines there, the media hype will be "US loses 14% of troops in single attack!"

    JL makes a good point.

    Plus, from what I've seen of the Liberian forces, seven Marines should be enough.
