I wrote about militarizing the border a couple of times on my own blog, Old Patriot's Pen. I haven't posted anything on the Minutemen because I'm still researching the entire US/Mexico border theme. So far, I've downloaded 884mb of data, and that's not all by any means. As a retire AF NCO, I'm willing to be "recalled, rearmed, and recycled" to guard our southern border. Of course, that will only encourage the terrorists to use our northern border, which is equally porous and poorly defended. Canada isn't QUITE as bad as Mexico, but only because most Canadians still want to live there, even under a Liberal government.
