“Move troops to the border and put up the same sort of bases for them we’ve spent billions putting in Afghanistan and Syria. Have the troops run patrols out of little bases along the entire length of the border as training for deployment to the same sort of terrain and climate elsewhere.”
Yes, exactly. This should start happening today.
President Trump can and should do this!
I wholeheartedly agree! Why the hell do you suppose that the majority of US military are based in the former Confederate states? They are there as a reminder, that resistance is futile. Move the majority of them to the southwest, and treat posse comitatus as it was intended. Posse comitatus didn’t stop the government from building posts on the western territories during the Indian wars, nor building posts in the south to enforce Reconstruction.
