So much for protecting children and the sanctity of life. I mean. Abortion is off the table there, but they don’t respect living and breathing humans, not even women and children in need.

beyond need. Begging, literally drowning. the sheer will she had to muster to survive that encounter alone will haunt her..and not the drowning, the look of indifference in those soldiers eyes, watching her...
ive said it before, but its just amazing that these 'national guard soldiers' think they are the good guys. they go home at night knowing these people suffer like this. sick
When i went through the Marines it was made clear to us that if orders to do something put us in a moral quandary then they probably aren't lawful orders. This was because they didn't ever want more Nazis who follow orders blindly like we saw in the Nuremberg trials. Now it just seems like there are so many bootlickers who are just dumbass robots that have human bodily functions and no sense of real morality, and far too few have the courage to question or ignore orders that shouldn't be followed.
My point is we need more Hugh Clowers Thompson Jr's and less Adolf Eichmann's in this world.
I want to argue but I remember being in and about to "deploy" to a US city years ago. Some of the dumb fucks were talking about hoping a protester starts something so he can get some hits in.
Like fuck, we should be trying to protect them from the cops not trying to instigate another riot.
Texas is just fucked
Missing a huge piece of information in the title and article: were they at least halfway across? Uniformed military members cannot cross the boarder conducting operations. As fucked as this situation is, Texas conducting military operations on Mexican soil is a whole lot worse. Given the tone of the article and the fact that they didn’t say, leads me to believe they were not on US soil and the guardsman could not do anything.
On one hand I get what you're saying, on the other hand is Mexico going to start a war with the US because a handful of National Guard members saved a mother and child from drowning in "their" water?
I get that wars have started over more stupid shit, but I'd hope we have enough brain cells in the modern day to understand that that would be in no way an incursion or intentional act against Mexico.
Yeah, the US/Mexico border is not the North Korea/South Korea DMZ even if the GOP wants it to be.
I'm pretty sure it's more asking the lines of "if I cross the border to do this I'll probably be dishonorablely discharged".
That is pretty key, there could have been a horribly legal reason why they "watched". I don't know what I would or could have done in their situation, but it seems a damned if you do damn d if you don't situation.
It doesn't seem like that at all you donkey. Seems obvious what to do, here.
No one will care because they lived, and if they died only a small number of people will care. This world is a waking nightmare.
NG guys signed up to cosplay as Call of Duty operators not help people. Just being real. Most of the guys that do that job are racists.
