Room.. they are armed... but only for "self defense".... The N.G. has been down on the border in a similar capacity numerous times in the past. They usually send Intel guys and P.O.G.'s down to assist the BP with observation, intel and "systems analysis" (assuming this relates to camera/NVG and sensor systems).... What we need is more Grunts and armed patrols... .50 cal M2's and Mk 19's on top of Hum-v's with a few M240's and M4's thrown in for good measure.... Sending the N.G. down to stare at screens and read maps is a waste of time and about as useful as sending military advisers to Canada.....

Just my opinion....

I have a solution to this problem, and please note that I do not give two shits about Mexico's sovereignty............... we know who the drug lords are, and we know where they live............... pick about 20 of them, any 20 will do, just be sure they are the "big dogs"............... assign at least 2 to 4 Tomahawk cruise missiles to each home, most preferably when we know they will be there, with all of their families, henchmen, etc., and kill them all. KILL THEM ALL................EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!

Screw Mexico and their weak leadership and their cowardice in handling this problem. These people are killing our country with this nonsense. So let's kill the drug lords and their families and take the profitability out of the equation. When the threat of death becomes much more realistic than the ability to enjoy the profits of ill gotten gains, then this nonsense will stop.

What the Mexicans are doing is none other than an armed invasion, and it should be treated as such.

I'm not looking for the repeal of "Posse Cumitatus" (or how ever it's spelled), I just want terroists from a different country, who are invading our soverign soil to be treated as such... If the Apaches are flying, then ARM THE DAMN THINGS and let them get some good training in at the same time....

If they won't let the soldiers deal with the problem in a military manner, then MINE the f-ing boarder and arrest anyone that makes it through... (Hint: they will be the ones with a limp who do not speak English very well.)

Absolutely, I had the same thought!

I know a good day to do it too. In keeping with the spirit of the season and all.

All of these guys go to church. They're no different than the Mafia, they all pretend to be somewhat "believing" so as to be a good example for their kids. So, let them all go to church......... maybe one or two of them will actually go to confession and have a chance of being absolved of their sins before hell comes raining down on them. Anyway, after church, you know they're all going to get together at one of the big bosses haciendas, with all of their henchmen and their families too..........all on Christmas Day.

That's when you drop the Tomahawk cruise missles on them!
