The National Guard Will Be Safe

Two weeks ago, the National Guard used creative accounting, which it is famous for, to announce that “because 2,000 others (Guardsmen) were somewhere inside the four southwestern border states, training or helping plan the deployment” that the mission requirements had been met.

It is a good thing that the unarmed National Guardsmen will be kept a safe distance from the actual border.

From WND:

“Several Hidalgo County deputies and at least four Border patrol agents were met with a sustained hail of gunfire alternating from the south to the east and lasting nearly 10 minutes, the officers said.

Yet, not a single shot was returned by the deputies or the Border Patrol officers last Wednesday night because they were outmanned and outgunned – a condition increasingly common along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border, say law enforcement officials. “

    “It is a good thing that the unarmed National Guardsmen will be kept a safe distance from the actual border.”

    Thank you for the laugh.
