I spent almost 35 years of my life working in areas posted with these signs:
All currently serving and former Freepers who are/were in the military know there are numerous bases and defense installations were it expressly posted that any trespassing will be met with immediate deadly force and without warning. These people must be stupid, suicidal or both.
No US president will authorize the use of lethal force on border crosses who are unarmed. No honorable military commander would give the order.
The president should send another 25,000 troops to the border till the wall is completed. Use less-than-lethal force to stop them from setting foot in the US. If the Mexicans don’t do it, tell them we may have soldier setting foot inside Mexico temporarily to prevent unauthorized entry into our country.
I was one of 25 correctional officers who stopped 220 inmates from rushing a fence by using triple-chasers, gas, and stun guns. And i can cite examples with fewer people. Many prisons have experience doing the same thing. Correctional agencies are experienced doing this all the time.
Any one who grew up in the military knows they are serious. I am an Air Force brat. I still have trouble stepping over a red line on pavement and I am 69.
Yes, those who would go out there and try to trespass need to understand that the military is NOT civilian enforcement. They are under no mandates to arrest.
They are all libtards. They should be encouraged. We will have a couple hundred thousand less of them.
I spent almost 35 years of my life working in areas posted with these signs:
Ex-AF Security Forces here. There are indeed certain locations where you don’t dare step over the line. Nuclear, chemical weapons sites and places with “one of a kind” resources are immediate, without question, shoot first and recover the bodies later. I have had friends stationed at Groom Lake, and can tell you those people, if they make the attempt, are very likely to have a bad day.
I worked at NTS. I saw those signs all the time. When I was there there were SERIOUS!!
All the time!!!!!
Don’t do it.
I agree on the signs and deadly force...but these people seem to think that if you had a hundred-thousand people going through the fence, they simply wouldn’t shoot the hundred-thousand. There might be fifty to a hundred dead in the first minute, but would the security guys just continue on? I’m not so sure about it. Then you can ask the question...how much ammo do these security guys carry on them? Maybe two-hundred rounds each?
This could turn into some massive event dragging Congress into hearings and asking a lot of stupid questions.
Yes and during the cold war some mainstream military facilities had armed perimeter guards with dogs. Have been on those facilities and there were some streets, buildings that had signs if you didn’t have permission to be on that street or in that area it was a no go. Life hummed along, no one that I know of tried to go into those areas just didn’t.
I grew up on a ranch in Northern Arizona where they tested the moon buggy. One day we were driving across the ranch and there they were out in the pasture- fairly close driving the buggy around. Several people there, my brother and I wanted my mother to drive over there so we could see the astronauts, maybe meet them, my brother of course wanted to see the buggy up close. My mother pulled off the side of the road and said we could watch from there but we were NOT going to “bother those men while they are working” and she meant it. Different time.
