VERY nice photo series, there!
Great work.
“We need another invasion into Mexico.”
I bet plans have already been drafted.
Love that picture of the crew from USS Michigan. Something tells me that they weren’t there to win the hearts and minds.
Pershing was impressed before he killed Cardenas. Patton was already in Pershing’s HQ Troop and asked for permission to go on the expedition which resulted in the death of Cardenas. They were foraging for food and feed for the horses.
Hi guy.
“We need another invasion into Mexico.”
Please, no. We would have to support another Puerto Rico X 10.
Imho, build the wall faster.

“So, why hasnt this been made into a Dodge/Ram commercial yet?”
Season 1, episode 1 of Walker Texas Ranger. Walker drives his Dodge Ram into Mexico to snatch some bad guys, beats them to a pulp then loads them into the bed of the truck and drives them back across the border.
The video compilation below has a 1 second frame of the perps in the back of the truck at 1:50.

“Patton was the real deal.”
Yes he was.
I have come to believe, perhaps unfounded, that President Trump will make the new President of Mexico an offer he will not refuse. That is, clean out the drug cartels or I will.
Invasion? It might get to that justifiable point. An airborne assault or drones with missiles? I think the latter with no quarter for women and children in the compound.
A great General; his men, well supplied with whiskey, followed him wherever. ..................... So that’s where Zuhkov copied it?
When I was a sophomore in high school, my World History teacher, a veteran of WWII told us this story.
I have been writing for years that we would be doing much more for America if we were droning the Cartels rather than weddings in Yemen.
What a wonderful ,uplifting story!! BUILD THE DAMNED WALL!! I appreciate Trump so much. Even though he promised not to sign any spending bill with out the wall fully paid for ,I hear he will renege on his pledge before the election. He knew when he made the promise that it was before the election but I fear he has fallen to soft advisors with secret deep state motives.Trump is not perfect. We must cut him some slack but we all heard what he said.
The Ballad of Pancho López--Lalo Guerrero (1955)
More than that. Villa had the corrupt government force pinned down in a small Perimeter at Agua Prieta, directly across the border from Douglas Arizona. Wilson let the Mexican army cross at Eagle Pass Texas, ride trains in the U.S. to Douglas Arizona, then walk directly across the border and reinforce the perimeter. Villa figured if the Mexican Army could operate on US soil, so could he.
The time is not yet right for droning in Mexico.
Killing folks in Yemen is good. (I like the word droning) During droning operations in Mexico, the Sinoloa cartel was obliterated. The Juanista cartel had been droned the previous Wednesday.
“And later Rommel said, “Patton, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!”
Rommel wrote Infantry In War about the use of infantry in battle.
Guderian wrote the book on the use of armor for the German military.
Patton seems to have taken the best from both and blended it with his own ideas.
After his death Pattons widow donated his library to West Point.
He had made notes in the margins of each book.
When typed out his notes in Rommels book equaled 20 pages, single spaced, front and back.
He was once quoted as saying amateurs borrow, professionals STEAL.
I have visited Pershing’s HQ in Columbus, NM. It is now named Pancho Villa State Park. Stupid Americans!
Prefer PR go independent. All PR’s should declare citizenship one way or another.
Still would take 50 years to Americanize stateside PR’s. Take a thousand years to
Americanize the Muzzies but we don’t have that much time before SHTF.
My grandfather ran around that area on a horse named Babe while in the cavalry as a young man. I have pics I need to transfer to the computer one day.
