I realize that this is probably badly written, but how about we keep troops at the boarder until it is secure - you know, fit young soldiers trained in the use of guns, bullets, and other necessary machinery of war? I have no idea what "Pentagon officials" could do for us at the boarder except wall the country off with a mountain of defense acquisition paperwork - which would probably be even more effective than Trump's beautiful wall and a better use than it is presently put to.
Yep, there’s no “probably” about it being written badly.
