For enough soldiers to secure the southern border without good obstacles (like the mighty fine fence), the cost for each year would be monstrous (trillions of dollars for two divisions).

O bull crap. There are two division in the USA now sitting on their butts now.

You missed my other point also. I am not criticizing the open ended arrangement for overseas deployment. I am criticizing the border deployments as half hearted and as such, they always have a fixed end date. There should be a permanent Army presence on the border. Regular Army. The DoD is not out friend any more. They leadership is definitely Deep State™.

I read that contradiction as a joke.
