We should be using at least as much capital securing our borders as we are in South Korea, Iraq & Afghanistan.
A caller to Hannity yesterday had an excellent idea: Form a volunteer organization along the lines of the Civil Air Patrol. Call it the Civil Border Patrol. Almost no money required.
In effect we would be using the milita to defend our borders. The idea has much appeal to me.
One Claymore every 500 ft would do the trick quite well I would think.
Agreed. Maybe we can draw down some of the USFK, maybe redeploy some to Japan, the rest tasked for perimeter security ops for mil bases along the Mex. border and rotated out with front line soldiers coming back from Iraq, etc.
To think that training on area bases is being interrupted or compromised is just another issue to add to the overall problem.
