Military Deployed to Border

[Sean Hayden]

Thousands of troops have been deployed to the US border with Mexico. People are calling it a stunt. Fuck you it's a stunt. Where are the conspiracy nuts now eh? Here you've got the makings of a real fucking disaster and you've got nothing to say. Where are our slippery slope guys, people like 42? Say 42, you let one misuse of the military go unchallenged and what does the next one look like?

You want Posse Comitatus? we got Posse Comitatus. The best Posse Comitatus. Ask anyone.

Apparently they're only there to assist in logistical stuff, they won't actually shoot anyone. But it they have to cross the border, then it's lock and load, motherfucker!

When does the caravan arrive and the shooting start?

Just read (on Reddit) that Trump has not tweeted once about the 'caravan' since the mid term elections. Fear is his game and it is what spurs on his followers.

I want to know why thousands of troops are being deployed.

Trump wanted to make a show, do some intimidation, and the military thought what, we can practice?

that's probably it.

Should be there in time for Christmas.

Okay, he's not looking. Let's quietly leave.

Troops at U.S.-Mexican border to start coming home

The 5,800 troops who were rushed to the southwest border amid President Donald Trump’s pre-election warnings about a refugee caravan will start coming home as early as this week — just as some of those migrants are beginning to arrive.

Democrats and Republicans have criticized the deployment as a ploy by the president to use active-duty military forces as a prop to try to stem Republican losses in this month’s midterm elections.

The general overseeing the deployment told POLITICO on Monday that the first troops will start heading home in the coming days as some are already unneeded, having completed the missions for which they were sent. The returning service members include engineering and logistics units whose jobs included placing concertina wire and other barriers to limit access to ports of entry at the U.S.-Mexico border.

All the troops should be home by Christmas, as originally expected, Army Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan said in an interview Monday.

"Our end date right now is 15 December, and I've got no indications from anybody that we'll go beyond that," said Buchanan, who leads the land forces of U.S. Northern Command.

The Commander in Chief deploying the US Army on US soil to reinforce political talking points at the cost of a couple of hundred million dollars isn't illegal. So there.

[Joe]

Yeah, but I'm still glad my friends and neighbors at Fort Carson and Pete Field may get home for Christmas.

I thought they were deployed to be a fence until the 3d-printed fencing machine can get up and running...
