Prayers up for this man’s family.
I travel a lot. When I get on the plane I try to sit in an aisle seat and mentally go thru what I would do to subdue a passenger who might threaten or create a scene mid-air.
I am not kidding.
In the military they taught us to always be mentally prepared for a surprise. In Escape and Evasion training classes we learned many common things could be used as lethal weapons, i.e. shoe laces or thin belts as garottes, shoes as clubs, pencils to stab out eyes, etc. I have never forgotten this.
I have metally clubbed to death numerous muslims, eventhough I am a 60 year old ex-SeaBee. still in good shape though. CAN-DO
Can I supersize that, please?
Absolutely. You drive right along the border for a good 10 minutes or more and can often see more of the Mexican side than of the American side. The difference is striking, but maybe not so much in a few years.
Mexico needs to be put on the military OFF LIMITS lists for the active, reserve and guard components. Those folks are already targets inside our own country near the border. No reason to offer them up for slaughter by venturing inside the belly of the beast voluntarily. Some troops simply won't see the threat as real because they've got the HooooAH factor going aka I'm the baddest MOFO in the valley....

Thanks for your service.
Kind of surprised that a Guardsman was allowed to go
across the border, even if he was in civilian clothes.
God rest his soul.....
This border situation is very scary to
us who live in Texas. It affects all of us because of the
criminals who have infiltrated across that border into our
state.
It truly is. Even here in Central Texas we feel it. There are Mexican drug gangs, many of them teenagers, who are armed and defend their turf. There are certain parts of town you just don't go to, you know? It's that way all over Texas.
the South Koreans sleep well on their border with North Korea..courtesy of the American Taxpayer ...why can’t Texans
Coming soon--a Happy Meal with a rocket launcher!
Depending on the circumstances, you will either be arrested or given the Navy Cross. :)
No, it said “anywhere in Mexico within 50 miles of the border”. “Anywhere in Mexico” is not within the US.
Yep. You round a bend on I-10 and there it is - a gigantic shantytown on the other side of the river (at least, that's the first impression you get).
He probably told his family in Mexico that he was going to stop by for a visit.
The family talked about how they were looking for ward to seeing their family member who is a Guardsman.
The talk spread and is heard by folks involved in the drug trade.
The folks in the drug trade decide that this would be a good chance to “send a message”, much the same way they send messages to local police, judges, military members, and reporters.
I would think that if he showed up to visit his family unannounced, we would not be commenting on his death.
for ward = forward
Metal clubs are better than wood clubs but heavier to carry.
