I actually like that. When it had an empire, Britain would dispatch shockingly low numbers of troops for keeping or restoring order and fighting wars. Their success at it made a powerful statement about the might of their military, and it resounded for lifetimes.
They said lots more are coming in the weeks and months. They probably sent this 1500 in because it was a readily deployable unit already fitted for the mission parameters.
@queenbrightwingthe3890 The US military currently has 3 million service members in total, 100 000.00 should send the message loud and clear I'd say, and it's good training for a nice big chunk of those serving.
Go Trump! Your leadership has reignited my pride in being an American, and I can't thank you enough for that. It's so refreshing to see someone who truly embodies what it means to stand strong for our nation. You've reminded us all what it feels like to be proud of our country again.
What Federal laws are you referring to barring arrests or searches by the military? Can't name them? You think Posse Comitatus applies to those who aren't US citizens or US nationals? You don't think border guarding is distinct from regular policing?
I wonder if that counts as deployment. VA says "Deployment includes any movement from a military Service Member’s home station to somewhere outside the continental U.S. and its territories" and since this is inside the U.S., (and we aren't in any combatance) then it wouldn't count. BUT because he designated the cartels as terrorists, then that could mean they are to be deployed to fight with them, which would likely count as deployment, especially if they have to go into MX.
If the commanders do not have total control as to do what is needed....Then why bother ? Ill wager these troops will not have ammo and will be forbidden to us any force against invaders.
Not good enough 1,500 is a joke what needs to happen is 1 million troops should be sent to the southern border with Mexico 🇲🇽 plus another 1 million troops sent to the border up north with Canada 🇨🇦 there’s not even a border wall separating Canada and the United States.
You complained about the Canadian border but are not going to send any troops to the northern border. You've been whining about the southern border and now you're only going to send 1500 troops.... This will accomplish nothing😂😂😂😂😂
armed no more bullshit
Billions of dollars to foreign countries but not even decent cameras at the border. How pathetic these thieves are.
why only 1500
There's already troops there and over 20 thousand Border patrol agents.

You want 100.000 ?

Same here 🎉
Please don't refer to the AP as a trustworthy news source. You should be getting your own news sources by your own journalists
Good he needs to draw the line quickly and make a show that he's serious.
Alright let’s go Trump
Thank God!
Finally!
What Federal laws are you referring to barring arrests or searches by the military?
Can't name them?
You think Posse Comitatus applies to those who aren't US citizens or US nationals?
You don't think border guarding is distinct from regular policing?
Will be getting separation, hazard duty, and tax free pay since the Border is considered dangerous AND a deployment?

Wait what? No working cameras & they can't do anything? 😮
My psychic says at least a brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division will go to the Border.
The National Guards that the U.S. employs should have been stationed at the boarder years ago.

It's not 1500 soldiers it's 1500 troops....
You complained about the Canadian border but are not going to send any troops to the northern border. You've been whining about the southern border and now you're only going to send 1500 troops.... This will accomplish nothing😂😂😂😂😂
The fact that he sent them being publicized will have an effect in and unto itself.
Wtf do you know?
