“Sending a lot of our troops near a volatile border with so many sketchy gun holders on the other side is tossing matches at the truck of fireworks...it wouldn’t be as dangerous to send troops today...”
It’s MORE dangerous to do NOTHING and leave AMERICAN CIVILIANS at the mercy of a foreign ARMY.
This is what the military is for - TO DEFEND THE COUNTRY AND ITS CITIZENS FROM INVASION.
Sending troops to secure the border is EXACTLY what needs to be done, and if a shooting war starts, it will ONLY be because the Mexicans refuse to recognize our border.
Real simple solution for it - You tell the Mexicans - stay the F**k in your own country, and nobody dies. You cross my border with dope and armed gangs to harm MY people, you get shot dead like a rabid animal. Period.
This is a National Security issue, plain and simple.
If I was CnC, I would tell them “if you try to cross, you will be shot on site. If you make it, you will be staying in a new prison opened for enemy combatants in Alaska or the current one in Guantanamo Bay.”
Like it or not, these drug gangs are terrorists. Furthermore, there have been reports of Hezbollah and Al Qaeda using the drug smuggling routes to get their operatives in here.
hehehe...welcome to the party pal...
