Their actions were foolish, not criminal. They don’t deserve 8 years in prision for hiking near the border, and in my opinion every American citizen wrongfully incarcerated deserves the support of his countrymen. I’m old fashioned that was I guess, but my country, right or wrong.
I never said it was criminal, just meant what I said about the action/reaction thing. If I walk up to a grizzly and try to hand feed the bear, it might eat what I give it, but it might eat me too, it’s a risk you take. I use that analogy because I’m near the Rockies heh.
From a soldier’s point of view, this mission is a no go, I would not risk my men’s lives for sheer stupidity.
