Another day that will live in infamy.

This will create very bad morale and split the military down the middle.

We know who benefits from a greatly weakened military.

while performing "logistical and bureaucratic tasks like data entry, detection and monitoring, and vehicle maintenance."

I can see some trigger-happy Texas Guardsman being stupid but the active duty military will not be involved.

I grew up in a branch of the service where people did not really carry guns.
So I have no idea what the other branches will do in this border situation.
I hope you are right.

The Guardsmen patrolling the boarder will carry weapons. I just hope they exercise some degree of sanity.

As you know my Dad was career USAF, and he never carried a gun except in the Viet Nam war.

I remember very clearly when they gave him a little pistol, he carried it on a belt around his waist
with his flight suit.

I was shocked when I saw it and asked him what the heck it was and what he was going to do with it.

He said they gave it to the flight crews in case the plane went down and the Viet Cong came to capture them.

I was a young teen but I could see that the little pistol would do squat and I thought maybe there
was another reason for the gun if you catch my meaning.

And the other thing was the flight crews did not take any gun lessons and I was positive
my father could not shoot the thing.

My mother was a USAF registered nurse during the Korean War but stationed stateside
at a MASH receiving hospital in California. She didn't know how to use a gun either and one day
the base commander got a wild hair up his butt and demanded the nurses get target practice
at a remote firing range overlooking a highway.

Unfortunately the nurses started shooting out car windshields on the highway by accident
and the base commander told them to stay in the hospital and never touch a gun again.

So that is my only experience with guns in the USAF. True stories.

When assigned to units that went on field exercises, I carried a very authentic looking dummy pistol so the real one wouldn't collect schmutz.

You could have been a USAF officer and fit right in.
Right who wants to clean the gun.

Oh I should say my dad was a tailgunner in WWII in the ArmyAF flying the Burma hump.
I guess that is a kind of a gun. So maybe he did know how to shoot a large gun.

But we didn't see guns as AF kids.

Oh I take that back, during the VN war we were stationed in remote small USAF bases.
The kids were taken by bus to school at quite a distance away from the base.
And went to school in quonset huts surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards with rifles.
They were foreign nationals with guns all around us, we were not allowed to talk to them.
The did not speak to us. I don't know who they were. They were wearing a strange uniform
not USAF.

Our parents told us we were perfectly safe but we traveled four hours a day on the bus to school
with barbed wire and armed guards all day. We didn't ask too many questions.

God forbid.

USAF bases don't have stalls for Army horses.
Your big calvary hats would knock over everyone in the aircraft.

We once saw a picture of my dad in an army uniform when he was Army AF in WWII.
It blew our minds. We told our mom to put it away.
We had only seen him in his blue USAF uniform.
The brown uniform didn't cut it with us.

Don't we all feel so safe and secure? What an orange fat clown. And his cult supporters are pure sh7t.

When the Military Generals refused him again, he moved it inside. Those generals will all be fired in the near future, and their uniforms given to Proud Boys released from prison.........

we’re finally on our own.” Apologies for the altered verse.

will precipitate a blood bath. Bound to happen.
