Trump complains US troops at border 'can't get a little rough, like they would normally'
Donald Trump has complained that US border troops cannot “get a little rough” with migrants because “everybody would go crazy”.
The president lamented that his military “can’t act like they would normally act” by being heavy-handed with refugee families.
He blamed “horrible laws that Democrats will not change” and said he was considering deploying more troops to the Mexico border to stop migrants attempting to cross into the US.
Speaking to reporters in Texas, Mr Trump said: “I’m going to have to call up more military.
"But our military, don’t forget, can’t act like a military would act because if they get a little rough, everybody would go crazy. So our military can’t act like they would normally act, or let’s say another military from another country would act.
COMMENT:-
It appears that Mr. Trump would prefer that the US Army have the same freedom to kill people in other countries as the IDF does (or the same ability to beat people senseless that the Brown Shirts or Mayor Daley's Chicago Police Department had).
I'd like to see our military be able to use this on the border:
Machine guns and landmines are cheaper and MUCH more "American".
Besides, if you sued that, it wouldn't take but a minute before someone nicknamed it "The Voice Of Trump".
shrug...
I like non-lethal when dealing with civilians. You seem to disagree.
So it goes...

Trump seems to disagree with you. And TUC is right, what is more American than shooting people? I suppose we could chuck apple pies at them but I'm not sure it would be as effective as bullets.

What does Trump even know about the military. Oh that's right, he probably saw some old war movies on tv.
That whole posse comitatus thing sure is inconvenient.
shrug...
Contrary to the nonsensical thinking from our Trump hating brethren here on DP, Trump and I don't always agree.

About as much as Obama. Whatcha think?
Never heard Obama say he knew more than the generals...
Is Canada encouraging these people to come to Canada? Has Canada opened it's borders for them?
He acted like he did.

Ah, the people Trump loves.
I know Americans are notoriously ignorant when it comes to geography, so perhaps you're unaware that Canada doesn't have a common border with any Latin American countries, or Mexico.
U.S. Students Are Really Bad at Geography
IT'S NO SECRET THAT U.S. students are horrible at geography and have been for some time.
No ****, Sherlock!

Posse Comitatus doesn't prevent the armed forces from securing the border.
