Ranger, I don't know what it is, but you keep making these awesome points... I can't agree with you any more than I already do...
+1 for the rib on nynco! That is a big Bush mistake, not following through. I know a couple guys in AZNG that were in a Stryker unit that was put on the border to "Augment the Border Patrol mission" and they said their ROE was a freaking joke. Everyone has heard the stories of BP agents getting killed on the border by these drug cartel members and Mexican Army personnel escorting people and drugs. Well the Arizona NG troops ROE was this: Do not engage illegal border crossing personnel unless you have a direct threat on the US side. Basically, if they shoot at you from Mexico you cannot fire into the foreign country. What!? Sounds to me like they should have said- if you see hostiles vaporize hostiles (old homage to Navy SEALs starring our pal Charlie Sheen). If it were me, I'd have all the US Army Armor units down there- see if they want to cross the border with a 25mm Bushmaster M242 chain gun pointed at them. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M242]
Fix it, then we can focus on the more important things, like when Miley Cyrus comes to Denver or which celebrity to mourn over after an O.D.
