Trumps Stunt
I was Seaducer on here but for some reason I could no longer log in. Yesterday I was livid to hear Trump was going to send 5,000 active duty troops to the border and then I get home today and I hear it might be 10,000 to 15,000. Soldiers do not train to be unarmed border patrol helpers and this has nothing to do with national security its more red meat for his brain dead base . What the **** is wrong with general Mad Dog that he would allow this chit.Send the girl scouts they have great cookies and they could feed the hungry "Invaders". Maybe use more National Guard ? I don't know.I know there are many other Vets on this board and I would like to hear what you think,and thank you all for your service .As for me I will be sending my first ever Email to my congressman .

Yeah, its ridiculous. I wonder what service branches they are going to pull from for this stunt. I wonder if there will be any thought of affecting unit readiness by pulling these people away from their primary duties? Hey, if they take the military people I work with maybe I can get some overtime!
Or maybe than can recall Sherb. He can stand a the border and flex his lats. They will all turn back in fear.
I could wear one of my two brown sport coats - well, one of them is medium-tone Donegal tweed and the other tan corduroy, actually - furrow my brow and give them the evil eye, assuming, of course, travel expenses and per diem are covered. I could bend over and moon The Donald at the same time. A twofer for the taxpayer, as it were.
George for that show I would cover the cost myself.
So are they going to shoot women and children?
Patches? Please tell me these have elbow patches.
I need to get my head around why sherb would be standing with his back to Mexico.
Sherb's lats even from the front block out the sun.
Only the corduroy one, but alas, they are the same material as and already were on the jacket.
To further disillusion you, it was a $29.99 impulse buy from the last-chance clearance rack at JCPenny while I was shopping for socks.
No. Just enforce the border to make sure there is no illegal crossing.
Argyles though, right?
No. Solid black.
Again how? By shooting women and children?
Those go really well with sandals.
No just enforce border and shoot rock throwers
Maybe you should try google sometime. Then you wouldn't have to ask such silly questions.
Instead, their role will largely mirror that of the existing National Guard troops — about 2,000 in all — deployed to the border over the past six months, including providing helicopter support for border missions, installing concrete barriers and repairing and maintaining vehicles. The new troops will include military police, combat engineers and helicopter companies equipped with advanced technology to help detect people at night.

So disappointing.
And over-the-calf at that! I needed them for a funeral I was to attend, wearing the one suit I own in retirement, a good black one. The only occasions I need a suit these days are weddings and funerals.
Another wonderful holiday experience or our troops! Kabul or El Paso? About the same except the Afghanis aren't as well armed as the Texans.
Anyone who is in favor of using these men & women for this political stunt forfeits their right to say "I support the troops."
I'll shoot you for that remark.
Crooow:This music would work better with women in bikinis shaking all over the place. I guess that's true of any music really.
Just don't burn your hand this time.
You should maybe google what your Cheeto and chief is saying about shooting women and children.
Its really just an old IDF tactic. I wonder if Bibi called up Trump to suggest it?
