Hey did they give yall any ammo or weapons for every squad member? Last time I was with NG in the south, only the squad leader was armed with a loaded weapon and only one M16.
Hell, we were better equipped then they were but those lads would certainly give them illegals a good chase through the brush, unarmed.
Most of these jobs are support jobs that just free up border patrol personnel. Pushing paper, maintaining vehicles, monitoring cameras. Not armed.
