During the incident, the Mexican soldiers pointed their weapons at the US troops, removing a soldier’s sidearm...

WHAT?!!!?!?!?!?

Why aren’t the mexican soldiers DEAD!??!

If not at that moment so as to not get our soldiers killed, then it should have been VERY QUICKLY AFTER.

These mexicans have some b.lls and SCREW caring about what gets them upset.

I’m sick of that too.

I won’t talk tough and say I wouldn’t have relinquished my firearm. I never served and I don’t want to die.

But afterwards, there should have been some kind of action taken.

I guess it’s easy for me to say...

In profound agreement with this.

Why aren’t they dead you ask? Because you never leave a Marine’s job to an Army dog

"Why aren’t the mexican soldiers DEAD!??!..."

.... This was the chance of the US to make a viable and serious point to the rest of the world, especially to the invaders from south of the border ..... If the US Soldiers were on American soil .... They should have initiated engagement ..... and sent a powerful message to the world ... That America is willing to defend its borders against all parties that seek to illegally cross our legal and defendable sovereign boundaries ....

.... Make no mistake about it .... this was a test by a foreign military OPFOR.

It was 5 or 6 Mexican soldiers vs 2 Army guys.Bad odds with automatic weapons in close quarters.

Our guys must have been sleeping to allow enemies to get that close.

This is a different universe from US military in the Middle East, this is our military operating to protect our homeland, in our homeland.

I think that this will happen again and the outcome may not be so “peaceful”.

I give it as my fixed opinion, that but for our graduated cadets, the war between the United States and Mexico might, and probably would have lasted some four or five years, with, in its first half, more defeats than victories falling to our share; whereas, in less than two campaigns, we conquered a great country and a peace without the loss of a single battle or skirmish.

Pistols are not effective against full auto weapons. Our guys were outgunned.
