"If the UAVs are highly effective, they will spend their time in the hanger. It's not about being effective, it's about political cover. If they wanted to close the border, they could do it anytime by revoking the "Keystone Kops" meant-to-fail rules of engagement, and instituting serious wartime ROE."
I tend to agree. We could have already "fixed" this invasion years ago - this is political CYA and eyewash for the sheeples.
You guys have noticed the "credibility gap" concerning border enforcement. Wind up your earthly affairs for the sake of your loved ones. The men from the unnamed agency will be there shortly and they do not appreciate futile arguments and struggling that slows down their progress. If possible remain stationary in a fully tiled area with a nearby floor drain. The new whisper-craft should spare your family and neighbors from undue alarm.
For example, the SD county BP had a tracking dog program which was phenomenal. Illegals hiding in canyons in heavy cover were easily found by the dogs, who "pointed" and led to the detention of huge numbers of border jumpers. Great huh?
Too great. The illegal advocates cried and whined about how terrifying and humiliating it was, to be found by dogs. The tracking dogs were taken off this duty they were trained for, and put on border crossing point drug sniffing duty, which they were NOT trained for.
This is why I say the UAVs will be shelved, if they are effective.
