POTUS:Military will build the wall

It appears ANTI-TRUMP forces have overrun FREE REPUBLIC’S general thread.

Oh stars & stripes forever! That negativity is so sad to see! Thanks for bringing it to us, though.

I actually do believe that it isn't ALL just Anti-Trump folks there....What I see is more of those who are our beloved brother and sister Patriots suffering from the Lucy Yanking the Football syndrome. They are tired of trying. They are worn out. Understandable. It is easier to prepare to be on one's back again after a mighty kick. Or not to kick at all. They are being negative because they DO NOT WANT TO TRY TO KICK THE FOOTBALL ANYMORE! Furthermore, they KNOW it will be yanked away.

As one of our number, Oratam, has pointed out in post 2 of this thread, FReepers and U.S. Patriots have been under an intense campaign of demoralization.

It is easier to go negative so as to not get hopes up again - only to be dashed.

I think we should seek to foster within ourselves enough positivity and hope so as to lift our Fellow Freeps by simply understanding that somehow there really IS hope available. WE can be Charlie Brown, who despite everything DOES try again! We can be positive enough to hold the Vision. "Without Vision, the people perish." We don't have to even say anything directly to them. We just hold the Vision of the Victory which is being won. Thoughts and Vision matter.

We are the crazy people on this forum who actually KNOW that not only should we kick the ball again..... we CAN kick the ball, with every confidence that it will go sailing between those goal posts! We may not even actually BE the ones kicking the ball - but we can surely believe in our team which is.

The 412th Engineer Command provides theater-level engineer support to the Combatant Commander in the event of a contingency operation. It is designed to command hundreds of engineer units and thousands of Soldiers in a war fighting capacity. The Command has historical training relationships in the Pacific and European theaters, and provides direct support to the Eighth US Army in Korea. The Command also is the Army Reserve’s Executive Agent for Operation Sand Castle at Fort Irwin, CA, which is a 10-year urban terrain construction mission for engineer units conducting their Annual Training. Prior to mobilization, the 412th ENCOM is under operational control of the Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

As an operational command, the 412th has 3 brigades and 96 other assigned units with approximately 10,000 Soldiers located throughout the southeast and northeast U.S. These units include the 926th Engineer Brigade, 411th Engineer Brigade, 302d Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, and the 314th Press Camp Headquarters.

Soooo....

Looks like Trump can activate these reservists (not National Guard) and use them to build the wall. Note in the description how they’ve gained experience in “urban terrain construction.”

Sounds like a border wall to me.

Go Trump - MAGA
Go Melania aka Lady MAGA

Q is real

From the article:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3713951/posts

“...But on Dec. 11, following Trump’s initial claims that he would direct the military to begin wall construction, Pentagon spokesman Army Lt. Col. Jamie Davis said, “to date, there is no plan to build sections of the wall.”

“However, Congress has provided options under Title 10 U.S. Code that could permit the Defense Department to fund border barrier projects, such as in support of counter drug operations or national emergencies.” “

OR NATIONAL EMERGENCIES

“COE could do it with minimal effort. By using competitive-bid, multiple regional prime contractors who were familiar with local conditions together with on-site 24/7 COE inspectors”

The US Army Corps of Engineers is already managing the contracting for Homeland Security. Two big standing contracts have been established (an East and a West), and a pool of contractors are pre-approved. They have already been using them to bid on and award segments of the wall. Two of those segments (Calexico, CA and Santa Teresa, NM) are already finished.

All they need is money (a valid fund cite code).

- W9126G18R0092 Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for Horizontal Construction Services in support of the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, Del Rio, Big Bend and El Paso Border Patrol Sectors

- W9126G18R0096 Multiple Award Task Order Contract (Matoc) For Horizontal Construction Services In Support Of The San Diego, El Centro, Yuma, And Tucson Border Patrol Sectors

I think that’s something we try to do here, and something the trolls attack us for, maybe we should be more clear about. It’s not that we don’t ever feel down or discouraged or demoralized about what’s going on, but we understand that we are a Combat Internet Militia unit, and that if we post or go along with the negativity we just bring down unit morale so most of us Just Don’t Do It. We have our reasons.

My theory is that this isn’t a case of President Trump “will” build the wall with defense funding, but that he “is” and “has been” doing it all along and one day he’s going to turn up and say, guess what guys, wall is finished, how do you like me now. A fact on the ground. A fait accompli.
