Removed from main page, as there is a cleanup effort on one of the pages linked here underway and I am not sure what to do with this entry:
- The Reptilians: The Kristang. The Elders, as well.
"There are also repeated references to recent US military action in Nigeria, which many of the main characters were involved in. Obviously, this has not in real life."
This is not quite true. The 10th Mountain Division, that Joe Bishop was quoted as being part of, had a small part in some training and anti-terrorism action in Nigeria. https://www.army.mil/article/198066/us_security_assistance_soldiers_nigerian_army_partner_to_combat_terrorism
The first X-Force book was released slightly before US Army soldiers were actually killed in Nigeria as part of this operation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongo_Tongo_ambush
The role in the book sounds larger than that in real life, but it sounds like a plausible escalation of the activity there.
