Okay, riddle me this batman (border)

"..The Utah National Guard troops, who will not carry weapons, will be in Yuma for two weeks installing improved lighting at a border crossing site, extending an existing border fence and building a road, McIntire said."

Uh, hello? Can't this be done by LOCAL TRAINED SKILLED CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AND CONTRACTORS????

You know, like how all the rest of the infrastructure has been built. Think border patrol agents built their own stations and jails?

What is the purpose of flying in infantry, doctors, accountants, 18 y/os, teachers, etc. etc. down there to do this?

Are they even trained for these construction projects? Isn't that lousy and inefficient usage of troops?

This looks more and more of what it really is - some dog and pony show to make Pres. Bush look good.

Well they cant have all the Illegal LOCAL TRAINED SKILLED CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AND CONTRACTORS doing the work now can they?

I agree it is such a load of crap what the Gov. is trying to do.

I like how ti's 2 weeks.

How many "construction projects" are finished in 2 weeks? It'll take 1 week just for them to be taught on how to do it.

This is so, just after they figure out it's all bullshit and stupid -- they're flown out and replaced with new recruits who are totally ignorant about this.
