#16  During WWII my father originally based out of Ft Hood Texas then went into the S. Pacific to fight the Japs. When taking a Jap garrison Mexican-American troops were to take out the guards up on the wall because 1) they were very good at scaling walls and 2) they were very good at splitting sternums with a bolo.

#14  What happened to a whiff of the grape?

At close range you switch to canister.

#13  You wouldn't have to shoot very many of them with live ammunition before they understood that they cannot cross. Should have been done a long, long time ago.

Perhaps one, maybe two. The werd gets around.

A few days ago I heard an ABC reporter talking about the Texas gubernatorial race between Beto and Greg Abbot. The reporter admitted on national television that Democrats are hoping to turn Texas blue by changing the state's demographics.

They have a helluva lotta damn nerve telling us we need to defend Ukraine's borders while they let this shit take place on our own border but they don't believe anybody can put two and two together. They need to be disabused of that notion.

#9  Say, riots and such continual snafus must be great for the contractors who make these pansy weapons and ammo? Especially in this age of faux humanist faggotry by uniforms enforced by self-righteous assholes in robes?

Best thing would be to place automated turrets in 20mm up on towers. Have two modes, one AI and one manual override. Use the manual to pick off adult males when crowds are mixed. Never let on to congress there is a manual mode. Tell them it's all AI. No single person is responsible for any kills. And kill the mediapersons first.

#8  Sure looks like a take on the olde trick of herding a civilian wave in front of the troops to overwhelm defenders with morals and numbers.

#7  ^ My first thought as well. This is an outright invasion out in the open for all to see. Camo clad men sneaking over the border, and now hordes of orcs storming the battlements with the banner of The White Hand displayed for all to see. Awesome.

#3  Pepper balls? What, like to make habanero with? Use buckshot or whatchamacallit that bolo round, and let 'em rot looking up at the sky.
