National Guard to the border?

[Tim4319]

When will these men and women get a chance to rest and see their families? Most of them have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. They may not known for their military prowess, but they are conducting full-fledge military duties, and for many of them to fight over their for long periods of time, I do not think it is fair for them to be called to the Mexican border in order to police the border.

This president and administration has no empathy! They do not care about anything but themselves! I honestly hope that when November roll around, Republicans loose tons of seats, so John Conyers and Nancy Pelosi can begin to investigate this entire flawed administration. And, if impeachment it where it leads to, so be it! And if they are guilty of what evidence has shown so far, I hope they go to jail!

1. He's accounted for that

by making his plan absurd. Two-week rotations, with training on-site. In other words, instead of help, the Border Patrol will have complete newbies underfoot every 2 weeks.

2. And maybe we'll get the ones with Combat fatique, and...

Who are a little bit off, possibley having undiagnosed flashbacks of being in Iraq. Then they freak out and open fire?!?!?

5. So nothing gets accomplished. Great plan.

Why does * even bother? Doesn't he ever get tired of pandering? :silly:

3. Burn out troops, burn out employees...

the same crowd of GOP bosses do the same thing to both peon groups.

Sociopaths.

4. What the hell does he care? No one in his circle will be involved.

To him they are machines to be used until they break.

6. Bush is taking away the NG's TRAINING time.

8. That's the plan, see?

Burn out the troops, stretch the army so thin that we have no choice but to contract our military and homeland security forces out to say....Blackwater, and the like?
