Trump says sending ‘armed soldiers’ to US-Mexico border
2019-04-25
[IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 says the US is sending armed soldiers to the southern border after Mexican soldiers "pulled guns" on US troops.

Trump appears to be referring to an April 13 incident in which Mexican troops reportedly questioned and pointed their weapons at two US troops conducting surveillance on the border.

"Mexico’s Soldiers recently pulled guns on our National Guard Soldiers, probably as a diversionary tactic for drug smugglers on the Border. Better not happen again! We are now sending ARMED SOLDIERS to the Border. Mexico is not doing nearly enough in apprehending & returning!" Trump says on Twitter.

#7  Good question, P2k. And don't forget Brian Terry. Besides, machine guns would be cheaper than a wall.

#6  Who had them on the border without ammo?

Someone forget their previous act of having the guards at the Beirut Marine Barracks without ammo for fear of an incident?

#2  Trillions spent for the defense of other countries' borders and we can't even secure our own.

#1  Why would anyone, from anywhere, pull guns on US soldiers, and think that was going to work out well? They should all go home, and then go to church, and then burn a candle and give thanks for being alive. Or, do it again, and die maybe.
