Please don't read too much into my reply Rick, I just want to know why these desert warfare trained and experiernced troops are going to be let out, rather than deployed to the Mexican border? I dont see this as a teabag question, I am sure in 1811 and 1911 there were many more troops on the western frontier than third world countries- or redbrick forts back east. That is what the army was funded to do, then and now. Washington said to 'beware of foreign entanglements'. If the Maine had docked in Key West instead of Havana, the USA would still be a nation taking care of itself, insted of babysitting an ungrateful world. Tactics for theoretical wars broke the soviet union, they could not afford the cost... of not having a war!... Reagan knew that then, maybe so do our enemies now? That is why they fight with electronic toys and a camel? I believe the old fashioned word was 'confound the emeny'? Anyway. Why are those people not re-deployed- what is it? 140,000 troops, divided by 3000 miles? one soldier every 120 odd feet the entire Mexican border? Who would carry a bale of weed by that picket? Oh of course, if the soldier was ordered to stand there and do nothing, or offer a canteen of gadorade? to keep the wheels of justice greased right? I heard talking heads say if the narcotic 'industry' was to colapse, the US economy might never recover. Hence the fight to not fight- or legalize anything. Homemade submarines are bringing tons of coke into the gulf of Mexico... I certainly hope the coast guard is looking for them, to kill it, not to read miranda rights in international waters... perhaps the navy could help them? Like they found that Chinese carrier... right after the civilian weather satillite did...... the picture reminded me of the first pic a plane took of the Bismark... but I am still more concerned of our fearless leaders being either paid off, or 'confounded' by a burro and coyote with celophane wrap, or a minisub welded up with a harbor freight mig machine....

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to ... [Read Article]
