#1 Defending the borders is military's job. Spreading democracy (on people who can't use it) is not.

#2
BTW: Given the DOD Generals running their mouths, that Trump had no business using the Military to protect and guard our southern border? Has Trump planned to "retire" a few?

#3 Start posting these on the wall. The primary mission of the military is to protect the homeland.

#4 In 1972 I was a USMC Reservist member of a Counter-Intelligence Team participating in an exercise at Camp Pendleton. The exercise scenario was a limited US military incursion to rescue AmCits from a Caribbean country in the midst of a civil war. One exercise threat we were dealing with was "host nation" para-military guerrilla forces (portrayed by USMC Reservists from the Miami area) attempting to infiltrate the beachhead. As a part of the exercise, "captured" guerrilla prisoners were to be brought in for interrogation and assessment by USMC infantry units after detection on the perimeter. As planned, about 2am we were presented with three "prisoners" brought in by 6x6 trucks over rough terrain, hog-tied, hooded and gagged and much the worse-for-wear after the ride up from the beach in the back of the trucks. As soon as they were dumped in the interrogation tent and the hoods were removed and the gags removed, their long hair, fearful eyes and instant pleas to be returned to Mexico made it clear these were illegals sneaking up the I-5 corridor through Pendleton and not the USMC role-play Marines from Miami. The USBP agents who were called to pick them up for processing told us they had never seen more terrified illegals in their careers.
