(KCEN) -- A group of soldiers are preparing for their deployment to Egypt with riot training on post.
They're planning ahead for violent protests or riots and the possibility of protecting the country's border with Israel.
Soldiers encountered Molotov cocktails and other dangerous items in the training.
Lt. Matthew Wilkinson says, "Just what I've seen over the course of the past week than we were a week ago."
PFC Perez Alexander says, "We want to be as professional as possible... Know what we're doing."
They wrap up training today before preparing to ship out in the near future.
Obama has shown that he is very willing to sacrifice the lives of patriotic Americans for illegal & idiotic purposes.
This would not be the first escapade in such madness on the African continent.

MFO? Egypt=Sinai? (do we still do MFO?)
Yes, we’re still part of the MFO.
This is a real test if illegal orders are given to support the Muslim Brotherhood and kill Christians.
US troops guarding Egypt’s border. You couldn’t make this chit up.
America’s long national nightmare, year 5.
In other news, (AP) “Senator Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., cautioned that the highly touted agreement (to secure America’s border) had not been drafted yet, much less read by members of the Senate and their staffs.”
And moonbat senator Harry Reid renews his call for ‘up or down vote’ on the legislation.
How about getting some Egyptian boots on the ground on our border, Dingy Harry.
Remember Israel has a massive wall that was built a few years back.
Good thing they are being trained in riot control because if they are attacked by an alqeda mob they will have to protect themselves. They sure ain’t gonna get any help from our side.
I cant see any reason what so ever why we would be doing that in Egypt..perhaps a little hysteria?
When did our troops become Egypt’s police force! Why not the UN? This makes no damn sense.
I'm not sure I trust the headline, but my first impression was that obama is trying to bolster his prestige somewhere...anywhere. Seems to be escalating his efforts, too.
There has to be a way to stop this misuse of our troops. Paging Ted Cruz, Rand Paul or Sarah Palin!!
From what I saw, they’re definitely prepared for anyone who dares uses oversized tennis balls against them.
I think the border reference is a red herring, and they’re being sent to protect the consulate. Another Benghazi at the hands of Morsi followers would expose just how stupid Obama’s foreign policy decisions have been.
I think I agree.
This will NOT end well.
U.S. forces are stationed in the Sinai desert between Egypt & Israel as a peacekeeping/separation force. Maybe this is were these troops are going .
I suspect there were promises made that American personnel in Egypt would be safe if Obama forked over the promised 1.3 billion. Now that they have their money, and it’s not likely they’ll be getting any more for awhile the lives of those people arent’t worth a bucket of warm spit. They’re all congratulating themselves for having pwned the Great Satan, and now it’s back to business as usual.
