I don't want the military squandered along the border, and squandering is the appropriate term under the present conditions.

With all due respect Sabertooth, I think the military, at least for the next few years, is in a much more productive role on our borders than doing exercises in their forts around the country or in babysitting missions throughout the world in places like Japan, Germany etc.

The troops won't be leaving Japan or Germany anytime soon. Clinton decimated our military. We're at war.

Bottom line: we don't have the men to man the border, we need volunteers.

Furthermore, increased manpower along the border, regardless of how you achieve it, won't stop the flood so long as we fail to deport Illegals in significant numbers from the American interior.
