It’s about time.
That is what real national defense and national security looks like.
Let’s upgrade those 25mm cannon’s to 50mm right away.
Thank you, President Trump. This is our fight, our border.
The orders are part of a broader, politically fraught military mission that the Trump administration initiated to bolster efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to stop undocumented migrants
WT# is “fraught” about it?!
Please don’t forget the A-10s.
Cartel retreat imminent
101st Airborne Division recently deployed a Company of MPs to the Border.
“Oh, but that’s nothing! We leased TWO Blackhawk helicopters and sent them to OUR Southern border! They’ll easily patrol the 5,525 mile border!”

No, True-dolt never said such a thing but, he/she/it (inclusivity, doncha know) being the 56 year old male pre-pubescent girl that he/she/it is, could easily have said such a stupid thing!
Before Trump, we paid to “defend” all the globalist borders, except our own.
That was the WEF/globalist/EU socialist plan
No wonder Trump sees them as America’s real enemy.
They need to give some attention to the northern border as well.
Actually the 25 might be overkill for this mission. Ma Deuce would do just fine.
I don’t think we have a modern design on a 50. The 25 lends itself to a ‘chain gun’ auto loading design.
The Warthog has a 30mm multi-barrel that’s a big as a VW bus. Nice to have, but overkill for a light armor, high mobility vehicle.
The WP editorial staff has angst about it, so it's "politically fraught."
They just had to throw that in there, dontcha know.
Try this out for size

Gotcha.
Thanks for clearing that up! :)
Buffoons.
They must have recieved intelligence somethings up south of the border.
Let word leak out that the US has a few nukes pointed toward Mexico.
What about the Northern border?
If the cartels get aggressive, they can bring 200k from Mexico alone.
3000 troops isn’t gonna get it done
