“If approved by Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan,”
Huh? 100’s of thousands of miles of concertina wire should have been piled across our border month one.
Maybe some creative Freeper can design the Ribbon for Operation concertina... (Hint - needs to have colors of Mexican Flag)
“If approved by Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan,”
It’s statements like these that have my wanting to commit mayhem on my computer screen. He REPORTS TO THE PRESIDENT! He doesn’t get to “approve anything” that the President gives him as a DIRECT ORDER! Shanahan simply has to martial the resources and give the President a timetable for carrying out his directive.
