Wrong. Mattis and the generals have denied DHS support of building tents and sending anyone that actually do anything.

The 1st caravan is breaking up and has been denied buses.

There was never going to be military vs illegal caravan.(non-military foreigners)

The president looks a little nicer now.

White female suburbanite independent women(and some men/cucks) will breathe a sigh of relief.

Election is tomorrow.

Hopefully it goes well.

If they’re not there to keep invading people from crossing into US territory, using whatever means required to do so, then why are they there? Why is all this taxpayer money being wasted on a lack of show of force and what do they hope to achieve when the illegals start rushing the gates? If they don’t repel them, then we might as well leave ourselves as that would be a signal to allow the damn to burst and the illegals to cross without fear of retaliation. Game over.

Our army is trained to take an area using force if required. They are not trained in diplomacy and are not people persons. They are taught to show they can harm, and to do so when and if required. If they are not going to do anything, then send down bus drivers to move them in. At least we can get them past the southern part of the state so they won’t steal or harm anyone there.

Mattis is not supporting this mission. They already told DHS not to request any tent building, so DHS didnt. Trump needs to fire mattis and dumbsford. When he found out DOD was resisting the border mission is when he called mattis a democrat. That is why he made that statement.

They should have plans for every eventuality.

What will the troops do just before their head is bashed in with a rock?

Guarding the borders is a legitimate function of an army.

People crossing the border without permission are not immigrants. Stopping them is a legitimate military mission. Invading countries on the other side of the world is an occasional necessity, but guarding America is a constant need.

Posse Comitatus? Applies to citizens. Does not apply to people trying to cross the frontier without permission.

And that has me puzzled. Trump outranks them. Do they not follow orders? If he orders it, they must obey.

It’s up to us to stop this invasion. It’s the only way. It would help not to have the magnets of entitlements then we wouldn’t need a wall or the military down there. If the Rats win tomorrow you can kiss that wall goodbye. It’s bad enough now with the Rino obstructionists we got sliming up the halls of Congress.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday that U.S. military personnel will not interact with immigrants

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will follow the orders given him by the Commander-in-Chief. If Trump says that US military personnel will interact with the illegals, they will do so.

When I was running Border Watch operations with the Minutemen I had business cards made up with the Texas Minutemen logo printed on them and would leave them in very obvious locations where we had been spotting illegals crossing the levee on the Texas border.

Got the idea from Apocalypse Now (Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore) the “death cards” he would toss onto the bodies of the enemy.

Seemed to work pretty good for a few days, then they would be back.

I guess the Russians and Chinese know how to invade us now. No weapons needed.

For whatever reason trump doesnt want to cross mattis. I would fire his ass in one minute and the uncooperative generals, many have been quotd the last few days, would be cashiered. This is what happens when you dont choose trump supporters as your cabinet. You end up with all these weak kneed globalist moderates who dont support anything out ofbthe ordinary. Mattis is a dirtbag,nielsen and kelly as well.

or overstay tourist visas are illegal aliens.

***************

A couple years ago the Visa overstays were larger in number
than the illegals crossing the border. Or so it was proclaimed.
A large portion of these were from the Far East, Asia, etc.

The military should protect the border.

No contact is probably to protect the troops from all the vile diseases being brought into the country by these invading scum...

If flame throwers are deployed, there would be no need for physical contact...

The troops do not have to come into contact with the criminal aliens. They have laid down barbed wire beneath the bridges over the Rio Grande. They will put Jersey barriers across those bridges. They will then aim the beam from an Active Denial System at the invading force while they are still in Mexico.
