An attack on America used to be met with swift deadly force. Now? Letters of protest and demands for compensation. General Pershing marched into Mexico after Pancho Villa attacked US Didn’t catch him, but raids ended.

Cartels are killing Americans with their drugs and violence. President Trump can end it with a few drones, a Warthog or two and a battalion of Marines to clean up.

Now that DJT is pulling US forces out of Syria the HIMARS systems will be idle and so could be put to good use along with AC-130 Ghostriders for night operations.

Consulate or embassy, they really should have more distance between them and whatever potential “incoming”, with nothing adjacent other than buildings somehow related to their own.

Most consulates around the world are a small suite of offices, frequently manned part time, and providing limited services. The US usually has better facilities and better security than most. For the US taxpayers to provide 307 fortified compounds around the world for its embassies, compounds, and missions is neither practical nor cost effective. And it sends the wrong message, along the lines of Jimmy Carter cowering in the White House during the Iran crisis.

Some embassies close to street. Some large compound. Built before car bombs
