Texas National Guard Is Ineffective on Texas Border
Texas National Guard — Something is WRONG
Am witnessing on the Texas border -- Texas National Guard — something is wrong. (Am in Virginia at the moment — just briefed a bunch of Members of Congress and others).
As you know, I spent more time with US forces in combat than any correspondent alive. And my track record on calling the ball where it bounces has been verified time and again with ‘slow motion replay’ as years pass by.
Most Texas National Guard on the border I encounter act like they got something to hide. This is the norm. Say, 80 percent. This is abnormal for troops deployed like this.
My sense is they are not useful on the line and represent a danger to themselves. Something just ain’t right. I’ve gone so far as checking into hotels they stay in and being there night and day watching. (Your donations in actions…sorry, often cannot say exactly what is up…I can give glimpses like this — I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner at the next table, and see them at the border).
Almost certainly the morale and training problems are command failure. I do not know the cause but my experience points directly to command failure. Starting at the President, SecDef, Texas Governor, and working down into the uniformed ranks.
Our border is wide open. We are under invasion. And those we have guarding the border should be relieved and replaced by another force.
