As a matter of long proven fact, without armed troops...that wont.
Let them.
Throw in a few Claymores, hand grenads and a couple warthogs with the flame throwers.
If you go back four years and view the video of the Hungarians working on the barbed-wire fencing...it was all Army troops that put it up. Very effective.
“Mattis is not supporting this mission.”
It seems our entire corrupt state is actively defying President Trump and refusing to defend our borders. What a fargin disaster.
That transformation happened when “soldier” and “warrior” morphed into “warfighter.” And when the War Department” changed to the “Peace Department.”
Mattis will probably be gone very soon.
Based on the list of units being deployed, I’d say that the cockroaches are going to get three hots and a cot while being “processed” and then shown the back gate to scurry off into the shadows.
Seriously WTF is the need for two combat camera companies? What the hell are they going to do take freaking selfies with the cockroaches? Oh I know, they’re going to do some touching family portraits before they’re released.
IMO the 82nd and 101st should have taken the airport in mexico city with all of the independent brigades of First Army airlifted in behind them. All of III Corps would be doing a thunder run down from Texas, and the Marines along with 11th ACR come down from California.
The new border would be established along the northern outskirts of whats left of mexico city.
The area between the old border and the new one becomes a no man’s land where anyone and anything found in that zone is subject to having a Hellfire missile shoved up their a$$, or having an artillery brigade Time On Target called on them.
It’s possible I am done voting for the rest of my life. I have stated if they re allowed to step foot in the country then I am finished.
22 months and same old crap. 4 weeks warning and nothing. They will circumvent the fences.
seems a lotta people here aren’t reading the last few words of the statement. He said “...approaching the border”. I’m sure they’ll be involved in backing Border Patrol if needed in country if invaded.
“$42 million to $110 million”
A bargain if they don’t get in.
I can’t believe, if one of our
military is threatened with
bodily harm, that they don’t
have every right to defend
themselves.
Dunford is a pussy.
Speak English dammit. This idiot sounds like an obama boy..

Enablers are exactly that, units that enable someone else, in this case the Border Patrol, to focus upon their job.
It is a catch all term for logistics, personnel support, UAVs, intel assets, engineering, etc... that support and allow a primary force to execute the mission, but are not directly doing it themselves.
The troop list for this mission that I saw in the media is engineer heavy. Which indicates a primary focus on barrier construction. This will help the Border Patrol use their people more effectively.
Did he qualify his statement with ‘Unless the commander in chief orders us to in which case we will follow his orders’
If he didn’t say that then to me he is trying undermine the President and should be removed from any position of command immediately.
Amazing how many Freepers are slow on the uptake.
1. PDJT always looks kinder, gentler than those put to take the heat and be the bad guys, e.g., Mattis.
2. The caravans won’t reach our soil...why? PDJT said/did some things behind the scenes to make Mexico’s president pee in his pants and break up the caravans along the way. Figure it out. Much like NorKo Kim was neutered before all those supposed meetings the MSM told you about.
For the weenies who don’t think their military $ under PDJT is well spent, catch up.
Does he mention the contingency for the illegals actually storming the border and committing violence against those trying to stop them - I’d wager they don’t just sit back under those conditions....
I prefer invaders. An immigrant is someone who wants to come here, assimilate, and become American. These Mesoamerican hordes want nothing of the sort.
The euphemistic PC term that I hate the most is "undocumented immigrant" - as though some bureaucrat forgot to mark a checkbox somewhere, as opposed to a law breaker crossing our border.
replace this general with someone who will defend the constitution...
barbed wire and hot lead
