Yes and during the cold war some mainstream military facilities had armed perimeter guards with dogs. Have been on those facilities and there were some streets, buildings that had signs if you didn’t have permission to be on that street or in that area it was a no go. Life hummed along, no one that I know of tried to go into those areas just didn’t.

I grew up on a ranch in Northern Arizona where they tested the moon buggy. One day we were driving across the ranch and there they were out in the pasture- fairly close driving the buggy around. Several people there, my brother and I wanted my mother to drive over there so we could see the astronauts, maybe meet them, my brother of course wanted to see the buggy up close. My mother pulled off the side of the road and said we could watch from there but we were NOT going to “bother those men while they are working” and she meant it. Different time.

Interesting. I'm former Army (honorably discharged) and can't get onto a nearby Air Force Base or Naval Base to see a court martial.

Now, try to fire a soldier; see how he answers.

You are correct. They did kill a man in January, at one of the NV facilities.

Maybe the a51 invaders just want to get probed by the aliens.

Then you don’t really “get” the aspect of national defense.

I’m a lawman. Do you know what a lawman is, Crowe?
He’s a killer of men. That’s what the job calls for.
There are new ways to put it, but it reads the same.
That’s the difference between us, and it’s all the difference I need.

I would also think a mob that has posted intent to invade the facility to look for aliens or whatever would also classify as a different situation from the usual trespasser.

It also happened a just a few years ago over at Luke AFB here in Arizona:

1 Dead After Air Force Base Guard Opens Fire at Stolen Car

"Use of Deadly Force Authorized" means "Use of Deadly Force Authorized." Period.

I have.

I shredded a couple of tires on my van out in the desert.
Limped back into town on the rear rim.
Rim remnant I should say, as it was ground down to about the brake drum before hitting town.

Got a good price on some used tires at the local wrecking yard (with STEEL wheels this time!)

I actually think that should be the case. Never going to happen, but I would support that level of seriousness on the border. I would allow a learning time frame but I do firmly believe no one has a right to enter this country illegally and I see it as a huge security breach.
