Just to make sure our friends that were all tingly about the president ordering active duty troops to the border are aware…
“There is no plan for US military forces to be involved in the actual mission of denying people entry to the United States,” Dunford said, speaking at an event at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. “There is no plan for soldiers to come in contact with immigrants or to reinforce Department of Homeland Security as they’re conducting their mission.”
I read somewhere that it could cost up to $200 million. Fat donald and the idiots in congress could’ve used that money to hire more border patrol/ICE agents.
Out of curiosity, have you seen the order? So far as I know, the troops were ordered to the southern border, which is happening. They were ordered to provide support in a number of ways, which is happening. What they won’t do is take direct action against the caravan unless posse comitatus is suspended - but so far as I am aware, that has not been ordered anyway. So the JCS chair is 100% following the orders given (again this is to the best of my knowledge, which could, as always, be incorrect).
Indeed. Only Trump, a NYC con artist real estate fake and Russian money launderer, would humiliate and embarrass our troops like this. They are nothing more than puppets, used in this case for domestic political theater. Maybe next Trump will make all the troops dress up in red MAGA hats. Maybe Lee Greenwood can be made an Army general.
