The Pentagon is making preparations in the event of President Donald Trump ordering the military to build the southern wall, a defense official has said. Trump recently hinted that he might take this course of action in the light of an impasse in negotiations with Democrats resulting in the government shutdown.

Between the Sea Bees, USAF Red Horse, etc., who do heavy construction while fighting, and other assets, it would get done faster and cheaper than any contractors could do.
Seabee’s (I served as a Seabee EO back in my youth) starting at the west end, Army Corp of Engineers starting at the east end. Ready set GO!
Let's see, we have a so called news media that acts like Democrat activists slamming the President with blatant bias 24/7 and we have the Democrat party quite literally calling him a liar and wanting to impeach him - so I am currently witnessing all hell breaking loose. The corrupt lying media is not the new normal - it's crisis, it's chaos, it's overdue to ignore them and their party.
>SeaBees could have that wall up in no time at all!!!!
Hell yeah they “Can Do”!
Precisely.
Army Corps of Engineres, SeaBees. Even the Marines have construction units.
If the Pentagon can afford to protect the borders of South Korea, Germany, the EU, and every Arab hellhole in the Middle East, they can damn sure come up with the money to protect the borders of the United States.
Bingo!
I thought they audited the DOD and it couldn’t even figure out how much money they expended or how much money had been appropriated.
True. They 'lost' more than the wall would cost...
I was going to say, 'but that's not the issue'... but it really is an important issue. And maybe it is the issue.
>>I wonder just how fast the military could put the wall up.<<
What I’m wondering is why I’m still seeing the see-through barriers with illegal aliens climbing to the top and sitting arrogantly on the top of them. I mean how long does it take to cap the top of those walls with concertina wire?
If they were capped, I’m sure there would be very few climbers, and those who did climb would have to have wire cutters and other tools to disconnect that wire. Not worth the hassle!
We build, we fight!!
>>yeah, they must be trained in construction?<<
Trained? The Army Corps of Engineers and the Navy Seabees are already trained and are simply awaiting orders.
How come Pelosi isn’t tearing down the wall at HER house???
You’re seeing illegals sitting on top a section of wall because Propaganda from the media.
>>one of the main reasons the Democrat Mattis was shitcanned, he did not support using the military to build the wall<<
Astonishing how men who have the abilities to rise to the top leadership positions in the military can turn right around and self-destruct when they have to carry out orders instead of issuing them.
How much did that Air Base in Afghanistan cost? I don’t think it was EVER used.
There was also a GIFT of enough airplanes to make up the Afghan Air Force....and those planes NEVER flew after landing in that country.
HOW MUCH $$$$$$$$$$ was that???
“SeaBees could have that wall up in no time at all!!!!”
I’ve been telling folks all we need to do is start SeaBee teams at both ends and let them compete with each other to see who makes the most progress. I’ll bet people would be amazed.
Make the wall a permanent military duty assignment and a Fort.
Since the military is already being paid regardless of what they are doing, it cuts labor costs dramatically.
