“I wonder, don’t National Guardsmen get the same memos?”
Sure they do - problem here may be that he’s a 21-year-old who thought he was bulletproof. He certainly wasn’t in drill status, on Title 10 orders or on Title 32 orders. Really sucks for his family.

The U. S. govt won’t build a fence, keep it guarded and use minefields anywhere except the borders of foreign allies outside of the N. American continent.
In the end..it is the fault of We the People ..that we have been so negligent of our stewardship this has happened.
Dear wetgundog,
You're fired.

Not from east Tennessee LOL. That's where I live. In 1994 I was visiting family in New Mexico and we drove to El Paso. Driving through town you could easilly see Jaurez to the south. No missing or mistaking it.
I spent a night up on the mountain that pic was pretty obviously taken from. What a hellhole it is over there.
About seven years ago I had to put a crazy guy down on a Greyhound bus traveling through Wisconsin. He had been acting real weird for hours, and then he physically attacked the driver as the vehicle was going down the interstate. I was sitting right behind the driver, so I grabbed the attacker and slammed him down headfirst into the door well and held him there until we could get pulled over into a rest area. When we came to a stop the driver opened the door and I pushed the nut out onto the pavement. He kind of wandered around for a bit in a daze until the state patrol finally got him.

SNIPPET: “Texas, El Paso, United States (AHN) - The FBI and U.S. military authorities are investigating the assassination Wednesday afternoon of an American National Guardsman in Juarez City, Mexico.
The Guardsman, identified as Pfc. Jose Gil Hernandez Ramirez, 22, was shot to death with a Mexican man outside a home, Mexican police reported.
Witnesses said gunmen approached the men and began firing suddenly, leaving them lying dead in the street.”
I wonder how many are in the security detail when the FBI goes into Mexico to meet with authorities? Do they use their own internal force, utilize our military or a contractor military?
