Think I should go down there and offer my services as Ex-PH2? I’m probably more likely to “spot the Bogeyman” than their inhouse photogs.

Great insight!
The best Barry the SCoaMF can come up with is it’s a “political stunt” and he should know, with all the political stunts he pulled in his eights years as the worst President, ever.
Mr. “Our troops deserve better” himself. Asshole. When did he show a shred of care for the troops over his eight years?
Our troops deserve to defend our country. That’s what they signed up for. That’s why they exist.
I always thought war with NK or China would give me the first stirrings of wanting to re-enlist, but here we are with the first unapologetically nationalist president who wants to use the military to defend our borders.
Thank God Bliss doesn’t use Gamma Goats any more, they would never make it all the way to the nearest southern border. Seriously, I like that they are sending boatloads of crowd control. Adults in charge etc.
Besides they would be able to hear the Goats coming as soon as they rolled out of the motor pool at Ft Hood… like hear them in Mexico City.
If only they’d let freelance correspondents go, too….
Sign up with one of those 3%er douchebag militias, get the inside scoop.
No, despise the militias. They are absolute idiots and will get people killed. I don’t want to be associated with that.
Go for it.
No Armor units?
Artillery?
Nope, us Engineers are able to fight it, buildup, blow it up, cross over it, or disassemble it to use later.
Infantry with a shovel
Essayons
Is there a way to deploy mercaptan or a similarly noxious smelling compound along the border to dissuade malingerers or loiterers?
The stank of their fellow peasant invaders is much more potent.
Air drop bars of Irish Spring
Semtex?
That’s the scent of Ulster
Semtex?
Mexico!! Isn’t that a song sung by the Rocketones in 57.
Odumbas little “stunt” of sending guns to cartels in Mexico got Brian Terry killed. No mention of that in the MSM.
We’re still a little pissed about that in AZ.
Time to send in the infantry and armor units and start setting up defensive lines in key sections of the border.
SPMAGTF 7 will likely be bringing Marine Corps infantry from 7th Marines, and they could also be bringing LAVs.
Boy….am I ever happy we don’t have Mexico on our ass end!
Yet.
CA+OR+WA = CANADA
That’s why I hope you fry(and refry) them beans before they get close.
Me and” my little Armalite” would be more than happy to join you for the invasion preparation.
You need to rally a militia on the Southern Border to grease those greaseballs. I volunteer!!
Here is your new issue weapon.
Made in Canada. Nice.

It was actually a Kiwi made No.4 Mk.I.
I have every Lee-Enfield from the Boer War ‘Long-Lee’ to the Jungle Carbine.
However, I’ve always been more partial to Mausers.
Good to see all those combat military police units going down but it will probably get all the libs squealing about Posse Comitatus violations, which actually doesn’t apply to this situation. From Wikipedia:
“The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.”
Even the leftist Wikipedia acknowledges the Act deals with DOMESTIC policies WITHIN the US, not defense of national borders, which every country in the world, except for some lefty ding-a-lings in this one, sees as a workable combination of military and police functions.
Nothing like a little “Practice”….
Seal the damn border from Brownsville to San Diego with whatever it takes to stop the crossing of anything from a banty rooster to a Durham cow. If you aren’t coming thru a lawful, manned crossing point with full legal authority, then you’re not coming in. It is our country, we decide who comes in and how. If you don’t like that policy, then pack yo trash and f’ing leave. Like many of you on this site, when I was in ETO, in order to cross out of Germany to any other country, I had to show ID, PCS or Pass orders, DA 31 anyone (?). Don’t give a damn how much the howler monkeys scream or how much it is costing. We’re paying troops to paint rocks, pick up butts, or secure our country. The pay is the same. Good to see that a variety of troops are being used. Maybe some of the REMFs that hadn’t gone down range to Injun country will get out of their climate controlled offices and get intimate with a few lizards and ILLEGAL invaders.
Sounds like Selma Alabama in the early 60’s . 11th MPCo. 11air Assault Division later to become the 545 MPCo. With the 1st. Cav.
