This is why I didn't post about the Border Patrol Horse Patrol...it wasn't what that ONE pic indicated...

 

Sorting through my footage from the border. I was in the river during the viral incident between a Haitian migrant and mounted CBP agent. It's shaky - but here's what I captured. pic.twitter.com/fnvxSU83tO

Gonna make this real short and sweet. That one pic didn't cover the interaction. That's the problem with "emotional" leadership. It opines without having all the info. The public has that luxury. Leaders don't.

Old Skool Navy had range!

Remember when we had legs:

During United Effort '83, a VS-22 S-3A flew a 1,300 mile combat radius mission from USS JFK in search of USS America.

In trail, an Alpha Strike of A-6E and KA-6D's.

The America CVBG, not anticipating a long range strike, was startled by the attack. pic.twitter.com/yIRh2izNHe

Apparently the Taliban are still committing atrocities (unverified..nothing on Mainstream Media..)

 

This is the amnesty of Taliban. Last night they killed 3 former security forces in Nangarhar. They were shot while their hands were tied.

We will never forget this and will never forgive this. We will take the revenge of our fallen heros. pic.twitter.com/eFbSpht5cn
