Deplorable Conditions, Unclear Mission; Texas. National Guard Troops Call Abbotts Rushed Border Operation A Disaster

[Lastamender]

The Constitution clearly delegates to the federal government the responsibility to defend the nation and the individual states from foreign invasion.

The federal government refusing to perform this duty does not negate the right of each state to be so protected.

The failure of the Biden administration to even make a credible effort to perform this duty is criminal-level malfeasance and treason. Likewise any courts or judges who compound this malfeasance by ruling against the right of any state to defend itself, in the lack of proper defense from the federal government.

Remember Obama stopped AZ. from enforcing their own laws concerning immigration. Obama is pulling the strings and destroying this country.

So biden fucked up again huh.....

Biden didn't send the NG to the border.

Gov Abbott did

 

[Lesh]

So quit being stupid about it. Walls and national guard is expensive. Prosecute those that hire the illegal s and send drones up with high definition camaras armed with paint balls filled with same ink as the packets they use on bank robberies. Cops sees them covered with ink deport them simple easy and cost effective. Got no idea what to do about where most illegal s come from though. Most cross boarder legally and over stay. But again prosecute those that hire them gets rid of most of them.

Can't do THAT

It would work

Biden didn't send the NG to the border.

It's more cynical than that

It's a big part of how right wing voters are manipulated

The right winger s in power have absolutely no interest in solving the immigration issue nor getting rid of abortion. With out those two issues clouding the population s judgement they could not be robbing the common man and putting 90 percent of all assets in control of 1 percent of the people.

And don't forget pitting us against each other, not by socio-economic status, but by race.

 

[Dragonlady]

A Prog and their courts.

It was a TEXAS Court.

There goes skews, using a far left propaganda site. You have nothing so you go to sites that make up BS and then spin it.

I will agree that Texas should not be patrolling the US/Mexican border, if Biden and Harris would do their jobs, this would not be an issue however, when you have poor leadership that doesn't care and chooses to believe all is right, this is what you get.

Far left propaganda site?

In December, Army Times reported a string of deaths among soldiers tied to the operation. Other reports and lawmaker-led letters have described “chronic underpayment issues,” “lack of proper equipment and sleeping facilities,” and a general question of “What the fuck are we doing here?” Now dozens of current and former soldiers are directly speaking out too.

“Service members say they have struggled with shortages of critical equipment, including cold weather gear, medical equipment and plates for their ballistic vests,” Military Times and The Texas Tribune said in a joint report. Soldiers described living in “cramped” conditions after being pulled away from homes and lives, sometimes at great financial and academic expense.

The story itself is raw story a far left propaganda site that twist information by cherry picking it's sources.

Your dishonesty is noted, Raw Story again is a spin the news to the left site. Prove it isn't and I may listen to you but you aren't being honest, you know it and are trying to spin the source, can't get much more dishonest than that, can you?

You think your smart some way but you just keep proving that extreme websites are full of dishonesty and spin, much like yourself.

It's a dumbass political trope. They literally can do nothing but Abbott does it so Trumptards can get their rocks off. Meanwhile absolutely nothing changes.

Deplorable conditions, unclear mission: Texas National Guard troops call Abbott’s rushed border operation a disaster

The governor has sent waves of troops to the border as Guard officials scramble to execute a massive mobilization that would normally take months to plan. Some Guard members say the operation has set back their income, education and well-being.

Such is the consequence of the frightened, hateful, bigoted right.

says the guy too frightened to answer questions about the bullshit he throws up......

• As many as 1 in 5 troops in the 6,500-strong “operational force” who have been sent to the border have reported problems with their pay, including being paid late, too little or not at all for months.
• Service members say they have struggled with shortages of critical equipment, including cold weather gear, medical equipment and plates for their ballistic vests.
• Many are living in cramped trailers with dozens of troops.
• Some say they feel underutilized and rarely see migrants while working isolated observation posts that in some cases lacked portable toilets for months.

Interviews with 33 verified current and five former Texas National Guard troops and documents obtained by Army Times and The Texas Tribune show that these problems were predictable — some of them also happened during the Guard’s 2017 response to Hurricane Harvey.

But Abbott’s haste in rolling out the deployment made similar problems inevitable. The active and former soldiers say that Abbott’s order left Guard officials scrambling to execute a mobilization that would have normally taken several months to adequately plan.


If we had known from day one that the goal was [10,000 troops], we could’ve planned,” said one soldier directly familiar with the operation’s mobilization process. “We pride ourselves on … the number of [federal] deployments Texas supports. But this? This is not something to be proud of.”

A National Guard general from another state added, “There’s no conceivable way that could have gone smoothly. There’s no way.”

The general, like the other currently serving troops who spoke with Army Times and the Tribune, requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media about Operation Lone Star. Most said they feared retaliation.

Hey Abbott, are they your troops or cable tv pundits? Looks like the troops don’t think you’re much of a leader. But hey, that orange asshole you’ve had your tongue up wasn’t a leader either, so you two have that in common.

How do these alleged conditions compare to the alleged conditions of other NG deployments?

Link please.

TIA

 

[whoisit]

Typical Dimmer, complaining when a real American politician attempts to enforce the law. Commies hate that!

The 1 out of 5 is possibly a family member of 50 illegals. since 4 out of 5 said nothing.
Plus our soldiers are being deprived of the training they need, now it is all about liberal agendas like race and sexual lifestyles. little about duties of a soldier.
