"We have to be very careful here," Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) said yesterday on ABC's "This Week." "That's not the role of our military. That's not the role of our National Guard. . . . That's a short-term fix, and I'm not sure that's a very wise fix."
Did you read that? He said, "That's not the role of our military." If I recall correctly from 10th grade civics and kindergarten reading comprehension, that is the ONLY role for our military. Granted, they are not to be used to screen immigrant applications but protecting our real estate through the use of and the threat of the use of deadly force against those who seek to abuse the goodwill of the american citizenry (and in some cases aquire through sedition ownership or influence over some of that real estate for a foriegn power) is the be all and end all of our military's constitutinal authority.
I reckon we should rename the National Guard to the International Guard to better describe what the high flyin' intellects in the senate percieve as the Guard's duty.
I thought surely the senator would have to be a juris doctor to make such an assinine statement, but it turns out he is merely a graduate of St. Bonaventure High School, Columbus, Nebraska, the Brown Institute for Radio and Television, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Disclaimer:
Y'all know conquest is my stated preference for our military's use. It is also well known that I have no problem with giving california to mexico outright; in 10 years they would be begging us to take it back. But facts is facts.
