Fox News: Hagel orders US support in Central African Republic mission​

DEVELOPING ...

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered the U.S. military to transport Burundian troops to Central African Republic, amid sectarian violence in that country.

ORIGINAL STORY ...

The Pentagon is considering requests to send U.S. military support to Central African Republic, a senior U.S. official said, as the country is racked by sectarian fighting which recently prompted France to deploy troops to its former colony.

The development comes amid warnings that the historically unstable country could be on the verge of genocide.

If the order to assist French and African Union forces currently operating in the country comes down, it would likely come in the form of logistical support.

Question: What overarching concern regarding U.S. interests is at stake here? That has always been the overriding consideration in involving U.S. military personnel in the internal affairs of sovereign nations. I know several of you are going to argue that point and try to prove your own by pointing out alleged exceptions to that statement, but know in advance, I won't accept them.

Simply answer the question, please, or post reasons why it does not meet the accepted criteria.
