And in any event, don't expect US soldiers gunning down people. I can't imagine many right thinking troops would go for that, and most would quit in time.

Shooting at unarmed persons crossing the border is beyond the pale.

I don't think anyone has much of a problem with Border Patrol agents or any military force deployed there, defending themselves with lethal force against the armed smugglers. I sure don't.

I agree, but I do think that 'the military on the border' types have a poor grasp of what that entails and means, that's all.
