Armed Mexican personnel surround and disarm US soldiers on US SOIL

[Diamondback]

JMHO, ANY man who comes across the US border with rifle in hand other than on official business with a US government escort or prior authorization, except the odd mistaken hunter, should be sent home missing part of his head.

Obviously a possibility, but I haven’t seen anything to indicate that they were non/state actors. What makes you so sure?

I agree with the problem being with the Army’s handling as a whole, and part of the reason I say the Soldiers probably did the best thing they could have.

Thats not a possibility, its a fact. The US-mexican border is 100% controlled by the cartels. It should be treated more like a DMZ rather than a demarcation.

It’s a fact that’s every single group of Mexican soldiers on the border is employed by the cartels?

Lemme axe you something: how many armed incursions by Canadian troops have you heard about? Especially ones that end up with the pointing of weapons? Or that have happened numerous times over the last decade +? The problem isn't a border, the problem is THAT border and who lies on the other side of it.

I’m ready to play Wildlands for real because the game left me frustrated and feeling teased.

I wish it was the 1800s when you could get away with stuff up to and including crucifixions and concubines

For what it’s worth I don’t trust Canadians and their gay pornstar President. Keep it north of the border, Leafs. Don’t start nothing won’t be nothing...

They are fixin' to get a butt kicking from the Philippines.

That is why I am 110% for killing them wholesale in situations like we are discussing. We EASILY have the ability to make them wish they'd never even thought of coming near the border. In these situations they are a hostile, armed force crossing our border. Deal with them like we did the Iraqi Republican Guards.....I have ZERO issues with that.

Next time take out the offending unit and even pop over the border and take out any backups in Mexican territory. Make it nasty enough and they'd only test it once. Screw the "international community" and any wailing or gnashing of teeth that would inevitably ensue. The only thing that would matter is that the Mexican "army" would be unwilling (and just as importantly UNABLE) to do jack shit about it.

Do you want another war? Because this is how you start another war...

At the end of the day, the confusion was settled and everyone went home....

I’ve read several comments from guys who are ready to pull some stupid gung-ho move off.. This isn’t a movie...

I did read in a separate article that while our guys were to the south of the security fence, they were pretty much past the edge of the water, but still on U.S land.

No, not everyone is corrupt over there. Many of those guys have seen family and fellow soldiers killed by the Cartels, they are in a REAL war, one with massive corruption on both sides. But as long as the gringos want the dope, the market will be there.

Yeah, especially considering how they sent us scurrying south the last 2 times we tried to invade north ...

As to Mexico, does anyone really think if we do a retaliatory border strike, the Mexican Army will be cowed? I mean, cartel on one side, American military on the other. Sure, we may smite them, but the cartel will rape their women, skin their children alive, burn the village, then execute everyone within a mile. At least the Americans will likely leave the civilians alone ...

I think our guys, in that circumstance, did fine. Border river or not, I seriously doubt it's the ONLY body of water out there. Who's to say it doesn't look like every other half-dry creekbed?

I will never forget or forgive the war of 1812.
Everytime I smell maple syrup it reminds me of them Canucks route stepping through the rice paddies of DC.

You just don’t turn it off.
