This is how the UN operates. The UN committee on women's rights is stacked with Muslim countries. See a little hypocrisy here? Check out the one on human rights? Has some of the worst violators who then accuse the US and Israel of being terrible places. Disband the UN or at least get it off our property and stop paying their way.

I have felt the U.N. is a biased organization who “claim” to seek only a unified existence among the Nations.

As a specialist in the Army during the Battle of Mogadishu, October 3-4 in 1993, it was then I developed my own opinion, and that opinion was that the late entry to participate in the U.N. “parade through mogadishu” (my own term for an organization that had their arms twisted into helping the US during this battle, and then sending a convoy of pretty white military vehicles traveling through to essentially and reluctantly offer us an armored departure while all the while simply cowering in vehicles while our boys were hungry, tired, low on ammo, and having to dodge rounds, return fire and carry wounded while the majority of the U.N. troops opted to go with the Penguins of Madagascar’s motto, “Smile and wave boys, smile and wave.“; to me, they simply treated it like a parade.)

It’s always struck me as a bit odd that as tweaked up and upset as this crowd was, when the U.N. came in, they opted to start relenting fire on the U.N. vehicles.

Think about it; they shot down two US military choppers piloted by SOCOM pilots. Granted the military did not have a great escape strategy, it makes no sense to me that the Somalians had a plan to cripple the Rangers and Delta Forces escape by organized roadblocks and established areas of a strategic advantage, in the off shot that they would be able to shoot down not only 1, but 2 SOAR Blackhawks, and not be able to inflict the same damage on a U.N. convoy sent to save Americans.

Maybe, and most likely, there was no elaborate military actions taken by the Somalians on the U.N. because the U.N. favors the Somalians over the Americans, and on the day of the U.N. rescue, the Somalians returned the favor of not decimating the U.N. Forces because the U.N. “peacekeeping” force had simply asked them to do so.

That was my first true experience with the U.N., and where I simply said they were useless. From these stories, such as your share Lt Col Charlie Brown, I realize they are not only useless, but inasmuch as the majority of this organization and often times majority of vote are Middle Eastern with anti-Christian and anti-Semitic views, this puts the organization not only useless, but instead a threat to the National Security of the US, Israel, and any other country that does not hold to their views.

Thank you for your comment ma’am. You’ve given me some more information to research.

Thank you my friend SGT Michael Thorin for making us aware the rather unsurprising news that the United Nations [non-classified] report left out many of the horrific casualty details of the chemical attacks in Syria.
Part of the reason no doubt is that the chemical attacks were most likely carried out by a mixture of Syrian government assets, Russian military assets and rebel groups as well as ISIS.

Another clear reason to consider before you fire a round not knowing where it’s headed. Thank you for the input and information LTC Stephen F..

I had post this report and asked for opinions because I wanted to get others perspectives on the report.

So far, I am getting a great deal of useful info that I can use to start to formulate at least some King of fact based opinion.

I love RP because we can put stuff out there to get other brothers and sisters in arms knowledge and insight.

I never want to developer a stance on an issue simply from a bias that I have developed from a one sided view.

I feel like I am getting some “no #%*^” observations from my friends, and I thank you all for participated.
