The military trains to kill people, not put emaciated women and children in trucks. We have civilian authorities for that.


Heaven forbid we use the National Guard to guard the nation. I don't know where someone would get that crazy idea from.

It’s a sad testament to the pathetic state of our military that the deployment of roughly the equivalent of a single infantry division worth of troops to secure our border could “strain resources”.

Have you ever been in the military?

They do a lot more than just killing the bad guys.

Then you should know that logistics is a big part of what they do when they're not killing people.

That includes moving large numbers of people in addition to equipment.

You will obey your orders given to you by your Commander in Chief, or pay the consequences!

Is that clear, Soldier?

Do you really think that's true or was the Pentagon trying to slow roll Trump's plans?

Trump should use eminent domain to claim 500 yards along the entire border. Then create the longest, skinniest military base in earth running from Port Isabel Tx to San Deigo, CA.

Double chain link fences with a road down the middle and land mines on both sides.

How the hell are we too strained to support our own damn border?

Maybe relieve some stress by bringing troops home.

And yeah whoever said no needs to be fired. By a Truth.
