No. I discarded the idea of using the military because they do not make good guards on a civilian border anymore then they make good police and for the same reasons. Using them as border guards in a civilian setting will blunt their training to the point that they are ineffective as a military force.

Your quick wit at assigning positions to others that they do not hold and your complete avoidence to a very specific question tells me that you are a professional spinmeister.

You can keep spinning this nonsense but I am quite certain no one on here is buying it. Save it for CNN or the Sunday morning talking head shows.

"Using them as border guards in a civilian setting will blunt their training to the point that they are ineffective as a military force." Give me a break buddy. Do you really think people on here are that stupid?!

I am sorry. I re-read your last post to me and I did not see a question there. If you would care to repeat it I will answer. I don't think I assigned a position to you either. I thought we were discussing ideas. As for me being a professional spinmeister, that is funny.

And no, I don’t think the people here are stupid. What I said about their training being blunted is a fact that has been confirmed by other countries that have tried it. Police and border guards are not military, the military is not best used being turned into police and border guards.
