Don't shoot the FLIR, you want that.

Shoot the Mojados before they reach you.

I wouldn’t want to find out under these circumstances. Skip the you have till next week and break the attacker’s kneecaps now.

I say we routinely drop gators and piranha in the Rio Grande.

Age limit 70 - We bring our own artillery

Now let's not be ageist. A helluvalotta VN combat vets rattling around age 70 that have hardware and remember tactics and how to fight. Better kick that up to 90, us old farts are notoriously cantankerous when riled.

Well I guess you could call him a loan marine since they’re kind of on loan to the border. It’s actually lone marine though. 😱

USA not allowed to defend it borders. State of war as foreign invaders cross by the thousands each day. Enemies within aid and abet them. E.g., much of DC.

A primary mission in war is gathering information about the enemy. Intelligent enemies provide false info into your own intelligence systems, to mislead. Determining what is true and what is false. Who can do? So many _experts_ ; so many lies.

The dark state is huge, powerful and master of deception. Seek truth and nothing else.

The Marine was operating and MSC truck. Border Patrol agents have been operating these alone for years and many of us have talked about how unsafe it is to be operating one a lone. Some of these trucks are more than an hours drive from the station and backup may or may not be readily available.

You cant see outside of the truck because all the windows are covered, the only way to see outside of the truck is to use the camera. Problem is that you are using the camera to look at radar hits that are occuring elsewhere. This is not the first time illegals have approached the trucks but it is the first assault that I know of.

I think in the DMZ area that ANY military can use deadly force when attacked for any reason at any level of attack.

That was my first thought as well. But at least he had bullets.

His assailants obviously thought he didn't. Now they know the troops have at least a loaded sidearm. Expect an escalation to sniping.

"..During the struggle, the Marine fired his pistol one time, striking the forward-looking infrared display unit mounted on the dash. The attackers fled at that point.."

Mexicans be like..".. Holy frijoles sagrados que no podemos permitirnos pagar por esa cosa!?!"

Luckily our man is ok. Good thing he hit the display unit instead of the FLIR itself. That woulda cost a pretty penny (or muchos pesos!). d;^)
