Anti-gun activist and Parkland shooting “survivor,” who was nowhere near the actual shooting, David Hogg attacked the American military.
It was an effort to do his usual bit of bashing Republicans but rather than hit President Donald Trump and the GOP he hit former President Obama.
The teenager, who was accepted to Harvard after countless rejections from other colleges after the Parkland massacre, shared a story from Yahoo about military operations in Africa.

“Alexa, what does US military imperialism look like?” the teenager, who has no idea what imperialism is, said.

It appears that the youngster did not check the story too well because the majority of the operations began between 2012 – 2016.
Between 2013 and 2017, U.S. special operations forces saw combat in at least 13 African countries, according to retired Army Brig. Gen. Don Bolduc, who served at U.S. Africa Command from 2013 to 2015 and then headed Special Operations Command Africa until 2017.
Is David Hogg clueless?
Those countries, according to Bolduc, are Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Somalia, South Sudan and Tunisia.
He added that U.S. troops have been killed or wounded in action in at least six of them: Kenya, Libya, Niger, Somalia, South Sudan and Tunisia.
Yahoo News has put together a list of three dozen such operations across the continent.
Now does anyone want to tell Hogg who the President of the United States was between 2012 – 2016?

Oh, & one more lesson you won’t likely learn at Harvard. We fight to liberate & protect. Not occupy & take.
We fight in defense of freedom worldwide. Wise up kiddo. https://t.co/qHSUqoWpdw— Sean Parnell (@SeanParnellUSA) April 23, 2019
“US Military imperialism”
Just casually smearing US soldiers risking their lives to help African nations fight terrorists that are murdering native populations…. https://t.co/ISFK5pbGi3

Hogg has plastic opinions.
Kasky and Kashuv are legit good people who I think act in good faith.
Not trying to be a dick, just think Hogg does it for attention. https://t.co/psGVB2u0EM

An arrogant, snarky 18 year old KID, who’s most well known for not actually being at Parkland during shooting, hasn’t figured out yet that he has zero knowledge as to why American troops are in Africa and their involvement. #WednesdayWisdom https://t.co/uNzZR0LSdr

Imperialism implies that we occupy, supplant the local government, and then take in the cash. Cooperating with local governments to combat terrorism isn’t Imperialism. I’m glad @davidhogg111 is in the debate, I just wish he did more research. https://t.co/eyUSIXuVmo

The entitled Harvard liberal @davidhogg111 doesn’t believe people of Africa are worthy enough to deserve the US military protection he and his other rich, white liberals enjoy. #WhitePrivelege Imperialism? Really? You are so brainwashed. https://t.co/y5lk3wLGiB
