Nothing gets your attention like having a loaded weapon pointing at you. You get real small

And things get surreal when that gun pointed at you is fired.
But the problem is that all sides in Haiti, including the gangs, are handling guns galore.
I'm curious, what is your training in your gun control specialty? You can be specific, it won't compromise your identity.
Not buying it...
Certified Federal Firearms Instructor. Received my training at FLETC, Artesia New Mexico
Smooth on the right, ready to fight!
What is yours, if any?

None, other than the basic training military stuff and some 50 cal. practice. I'm talking late 60's stuff.
Well I hope the Kenyans have more than just "basic training military stuff".
I hope they send Kenya Army Paratroopers, which is a highly trained and coordinated force for covert operations. Additionally, the KDF has other specialized units, such as the Rangers and the General Service Unit (GSU), which also conduct special operationsI.
The gang leaders will not throw down arms without a fight. If they will not, hit um!

Been out the action for 20 years. But I was just on the range and muscle memory is as strong as ever. But the recoil the shotgun really 🤬 me up now. That is why the actual fighting should be left to the young people among us.
Border Patrol has a tough job. Never had it. Never would want it. But much respect to um.
I'm not sure about the other countries that it's said will be participating in the policing intervention in Haiti... But I can tell you that the Jamaican contingent if they do go, will bring with them forty years of active, daily experience in dealing with heavily armed criminal gangs. The Jamaican policing forces are very aware of the need to shoot first and ask questions later. And they don't kid around.
You seem to be quite a guy, and like to let others know. A gun ace and drive around at 140mph.
I am comfortable with myself. I am at peace with myself and all others. Sarcasm does not bother me. More interested in the subjects we are discussing. Those who prefer to concentrate on me...that is on them.
I had a very colorful life. That was my youth/young adulthood.. I am sure we were ALL very different people in our youth. I know a lot about a few things. Most of which I no longer participate in. But oh the memories. I'm in just a keyboard warrior now. Can handle a gun because of my previous training. Would only pick one up now in order to defend me and my loved ones. I do not even own a car today.
That is why I said that I leave the actual fighting to the young. The young people on this mission will have stories to tell their grandchildren. They will be doing a great service and some will pay a great cost while doing it. Those who have never stood and faced danger will never know.

Thanks for sharing the above... Learning a little more about DR1 participants is always interesting to me.I am comfortable with myself. I am at peace with myself and all others.

One must wonder "Why Kenyan troops"? Their country is going thru civil unrest in the streets with the Army shooting live bullets. All documented on line. I checked it. So, a few questions regarding Haiti: 1) Why did Kenya (it's government) agree to this effort? Is this all about money? Don't they have enough of their own problems?
(2) If the Haitian pop. engaged in civil unrest (not the gang activity) are the Kenyans going to shoot with live bullets the pop.?
(3) How does this force know the good guys from the bad guys? The gangs put on black shirts today and white shirts tomorrow.
Honestly, I don't get it other than this is JUST all about money and nothing else.

Here is an article that outlines the possible benefits that Kenya gets from leading the Peacekeeping mission:

Figuring out the good guys from the bad guys very easy now. Haitians that want to be on the side of the government need to wear a uniform of the government at this time. Everyone else that welds a weapon, shoot em down.
No proof but I am certain there is intelligence being fed and a big brother advisors on the ground.
Why Kenya volunteered to lead UN-approved forces to Haiti
UN Security Council approves troop deployment, months after Kenya proposed sending 1,000 officers to Haiti.

The Kenyans and the Haitian police have regained control of the PAP port held by gangs:

You're right... You don't get it.
There is far more to it than "...all about money and nothing else...".
