"An inquiry by (Customs and Border Patrol) and (the Department of Defense) revealed that the Mexican military members believed that the US Army soldiers were south of the border," Northern Command said while adding that the US troops were north of the border.

And this is why THERE NEEDS TO BE A WALL so everyone knows which side of what everyone is on.

As for why the US soldiers didn't get into it, they were in an unmarked vehicle with only sidearms facing Mexican military with long arms and the US soldiers deescalated things. Also it seems the Mexican military was there doing pretty much the same thing the US military is there to do.

But this is a perfect example of how things can easily go wrong because THERE IS NO WALL. There was a security fence but it was on the US side of the border and everyone was north of the Rio Grande. If our guys had disarmed their guys south of the border, it would be a shit show.

Past and most recent National Guard activity on the border provided for unloaded weapons or no weapons for US Troops. Before the National Guard was pulled from the border here in New Mexico, one of the Army support units in the field was a Reserve Quartermaster Company which does field tailoring and builds field showers. That was the 263rd Quartermaster Company based in El Paso. They did not bring their M4 Carbines.

The entire Texas border has a river, there is no excuse for Mexican soldiers to cross it, ever.

Mexican government’s show of force, double dog dare style. Those soldier knew they were in El Norteño and are testing US response.

Time to invade Mexico and create a 400-mile "No-Man's Land" between the US border and the nearest Mexican settlement or village. And yes, I mean bulldoze Palomas, Juarez, Tijuana, and everything else in the way.

Dude. Have you ever been in an uncomfortable confrontation where you’re outnumbered 3:1? At least one guy had an M9 but I haven’t seen mention of anything else, whereas multiple reports have said all of the Mexicans had some type of assault rifle. Those are shit odds. Plus, we’re not in open conflict. There’s no reason to believe they would’ve committed any type of hostile act. While frustrating, those guys did the best thing they could’ve in their situation. That’s not even considering the fact that they’re probably not combat arms, maybe not even active duty.

Had you been there, you more than likely would’ve done the same thing, or you would’ve caused an international incident AND be dead.

They did commit a hostile act.

A foreign military detains ours guys on our soil, and you are worried about a international incident.

This makes us look extremely weak, especially if there is no retaliation.

Have you ever been in the military?

ETA - there is such a thing as two groups of Soldiers trying to figure out what the hell is going on without getting killed by each other. Again, I’m not crazy about the fact that our guys were disarmed, but two small groups of guys ultimately ended up talking. That’s not a hostile act from a foreign country.
