Maybe they only sent the taller ones, they can see farther if they stand up really straight.

Good way for these guys to get in shape for the APFT.

Too bad there isn't some sort of vehicle, perhaps motorized, that they could use.

Do they each have a sniper rifle with a 1.1 mile range?

I would recommend the Batmobile from the Adam West Batman series.

It's impossible NOT to inspire awe in one of those.

My theory is that they should send 164 shorter troops. That way you cut down the distance and they can hide behind those weird desert bunnies with the funky ears.

Isn't the border being watched by UAV's as of last week?

FTA...n Arizona, about 30 National Guard troops began a similar mission Monday, and waves of troops will be deployed every week until a total of 532 are on the border by the end of the month.

Obviously, the only workable solution is to deploy enough troops that they can stand side by side, hands clasped all the way across the border.

Yeah! That's right! We are that awesome that it only takes one Guardsman every 2.2 miles to shut down the border! Huah!

Just deploy armor companies. Four Abrams per mile.

Gunner, HEAT, tiny vans, near tiny van.

On the way.

You're absolutely right. We should never work to prevent crime. And by preventing people from illegally crossing the border we're trampling all over the freedoms of American citizens.

Not sure why the Mexican economy is so reliant on the drug trade. They border New Mexico, right? Mexico should just change its name to Mexico ClassicTM, and they'd make billions.

Only since ca. 1598.

Don't worry about it. It's all barren desert and rocky crags. What ever you do, don't move here. The weather is scorching, the house are little more than mud huts, and the food terrible. If you want to make a movie about Afghanistan, come visit and spend lots of money. Then go home.

No, no, no. It's the JTF6 area, and I believe it's in California.

KeeptheChief: Okay, I'll be the one to bite... the New Mexico/Mexican border is only 184.2 miles long?

That's about right. The rest of New Mexico's southern border is Texas.

I've been on a shooting range with New Mexico Guardsmen.

Allowing them to shoot on sight wouldn't help much.

Awwww. Cute hissy fits from the schoolagers.

Why can't Republican partiers deal with this? Whall, they like the cheap non-union labour for them and their friends.

Why can't Democrat partiers deal with this? Whall, they like the votes from the illegals' legal kinfolk. Err...and from the illegals when they get legalizimined. Hurr.
