‘Enrolled to fight in Mideast’, not defend borders? NYT roasted over anti-Trump cartoon of US troops
Rt ^

Posted on 11/24/2018 11:34:34 AM PST by MNDude

A New York Times editorial cartoon mocking US President Donald Trump’s orders to send troops to the Mexican border instead of fighting wars in the Middle East has drawn ire from Americans calling it elitist and out of touch. The cartoon, published Friday, shows a line of US troops in desert camouflage uniforms being ordered by Trump to the border with Mexico. One of the soldiers leans over and whispers to another, “I enrolled to fight in the Middle East… not in the midterms.”

The local supermarket penny saver has more news value than the Times.

Looks like a compact makeup mirror to me.

Hahahaha, the fake news gang is so dumb! Anyone who has ever enlisted in the US military during oh, say, the last six generations has done so for one reason and one reason only: to kill socialists, communists and traitors. And they knew exactly where millions of them could be found - right here in the good old US of A. Unfortunately, the time hasn't been right. But keep needling them, fake newsies. You'll see why they joined soon enough.

What a flashback/retro moment, featuring the same guy they used to illustrate the haircut regs which the first sergeant would be more than happy to have a one-way “discussion” about how that photo is used to show the last day a soldier could escape a trip to the barber and you really ought to get there early.

All my so called friends mocked me for my buzz cut after coming out of Basic training in 1972.

Ironic that it is perfectly normal for our military to be used for foriegn adventures, but let them be used to actually defend America and it becomes a “crime”.

Yeah, I spent more than a few counseling sessions introducing young infantry privates to their new reality in the late 70s...😀

The racist NYT is in a precarious position and knows it, so I cordially invite these deep state traitors to leave their NYC rabbit holes to preach its gospel of deep state fascism to patriotic Americans and see how it turns out for them.

They won’t. I guarantee it. These pencil-neck leftists are cowards and would never expose their skin to possible harm. We’ll need to establish hunting seasons for NYT globalists.

I was recently at an event with a lot of current enlisted and they were all excited about finally protecting us borders instead is some other country’s borders. The cartoon has it exactly wrong
