You are only saying this bcos it's Kenya, I hope that u also regard the US, UK, Turkish, Russian militaries as weak, for they are also occassionally being "fucked up" by the terrorists they are waging war against.
The US lost nearly 2500 soldiers in their Afganistan/Iraq operations as of 2016! Source:2,500 Soldiers Have Died in Afghanistan and Iraq Under Obama.

That means that in a year, the US was loosing about 165 soldiers in a year, for the 15yrs of their operatons there. And remember I havent included the casualties suffered by the other militaries taking part in that operation in Aganistan, including the Nato members, the Afghani forces,Iraqi forces (whose militaries are kitted and trained by the Americans) Pakistan etc.

Kenya on the other hand has lost less than 300 soldiers since its incursion in Somalia in 2010.
Seven years ago the military has been losing just around 50 soldiers p.a. Meaning our operations in Somalia, despite those setbacks that are making u think that our military is weak and its operations poorly strategized is better streamlined. Same tactics being used by the Islamic militants in the middle east against the invading forces are also applied by the Alshbb in Somalia against the Amisom.

They have lost 2500 in 8yrs

They have lost 2500 in 8yrs

My bad, that was since 2008, not 2001.
In 8 short years the US lost 2500 soldiers yet Kenya has lost less than 300 within 7 years of its incursion in Somalia.

Sasa Wabongo na kujisifu na kudharau, imagine Tanzania soldeirs were killed on a peace keeping mission in Congo, have you ever heard of that?
Tanzanian soldiers killed in DR Congo

Kenya’s has contributed to peace keeping missions for a long time.

Starting as military observers for the UN Iran–Iraq Military Observer Group (UNIIMOG) from 1988-1990. Since then, Kenya has deployed troop contingents to among others, the UN Transition Assistant Group (UNTAG) in Namibia, the UN Protection Force (UNPROFOR) in Croatia, the two UN missions in Liberia (UNOMIL and UNMIL), the UN Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL), the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), the UN–African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) and the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). It has also deployed military observers to a number of missions including those in Namibia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kuwait, Western Sahara, Mozambique, Rwanda and Angola.

In all those missions we never lost a soldier.

Sasa kama wabongo wanauliwa on a peace mission, what will happen if they go to war??? in a larger profile, the Experience the KDF have world wide is miles away from the Tanzanian force. Wabongo, keep of on this matter because Kenya plays international role, you play a local role.

have you ever seen or heard that TZ has granted any support to these jihad Mujahidins? you are fighting on what you cant win unless you withdraw your soldiers, poor war planning and poor training is what will perish your men in the zone,

We are not taking that coward's route of withdrawing our forces from Somalia, unless the Somalia govt request has so. This is a war to restore order in that country, our soldiers will therefore stay put, till the militants are completely wiped out.

I didnt say that the it is the state of Tanzania that support the jihadists, rather it is the pipo of Tanzania, for reasons only heavens know, that seem to back these terrorists against Kenya. That fact is very palpable from your comments. You shamelessly make comments that appear to congratulate the jihadists whenever they stage a successful attack on Kenya, but sound disappointed whenever they get hit by the Kenyan security forces, and go as far as to predict (read wish) a retaliation, an attack much larger than the one meted out on them by the Kenyan forces. You cant mask the fact that u pipo support this jihadist group against us. U are not our friends. We have wicked demons for neighbors.

Mkuu!..reason is most Tanzanians are MUSLIMS, who follow the TAKFIRI JIHADI IDEOLOGY!
Ukilijua hilo wala hautosumbiliwa tena na na hawa magaidi in waiting!....hivi karibuni watakianzisha wenyewe nchini mwao,wamesha pewa mafunzo ya kutosha huko Somalia na Yemen ambako vijana wao hukamatwa kila kukicha wakitorokea ama wakirejea toka sehemu hizo.
Misikitini kwa huko pia wanawalisha watoto sumu zao za kijinga..ni mda tu ,kitapasuka.
Nawahurumia sana wakristo na wapagani wa kule!
