Why are Border Patrol agents training to use mortars?

[Linuxcooldude]

Border patrol = national defense. Are liberals surprised they're not just packing nightsticks, handcuffs, and tasers?

I think liberals are expecting them to hand out a bottle of water, hot food and a visa gift card.

Explain, in detail, why the border patrol is firing 120mm rounds at unarmed civilians.

I stated why. That's all you're getting. Now run along and go read it again.

You can be sure the Mexican cartel have access to military grade equipment.

You are aware that A) there’s more than one cartel and B) they don’t lug mortars around on any sort of regular basis…. Right?

Lol no you didn’t. I get that Trump cultists are desperate to get the US in a war with Mexico, but America bombing innocent civilians with mortars can’t excuse it.

Doesn’t mean they can’t or won’t. Mortar training is likely for a worst case scenario against invasion or return fire for the Mexican cartels.

The Mexican cartels have access to military trained marksmen who could pick off mortar crews without any serious difficulty

Marksmen would need clear line of sight. Mortar crews only need a spotter, while the crew can be hidden from sight.

Trying to pretend like Mexican drug cartels haven’t scouted out every inch of the terrain around their border crossings is also comical.

Wrong.

 

[Deuce]

Border patrol goes beyond law enforcement.

No it doesn't.

 

[Deuce]

I wouldn't be surprised if the drug cartel had mortars and used them against our border agents.

Do you have any evidence that this has occurred?

Do you think Border Patrol should blind fire explosive devices into a sovereign nation?

As have border patrol.

Soldiers, International Forces Train in Mortar Live-Fire During Arctic Edge 25

Before some right winger says something about fake news, this website is run by the DOD.

There is no valid use case for mortars in a law enforcement operation. Who are they training to murder?

Firing into Mexico? The only real explanation. Yes, it's insane.

Remind me again how the United States hegemony is better than Russia again?

 

[Tigerace117]

As have border patrol.

There is no argument whatsoever that cops should be able to randomly chuck mortars around whatever they please.

Because America says it is.

That is literally the only argument.

Its a Holy War.

Thread 'Dept of Homeland Security Describes Their Mass Deportations as a Holy War'

"If you mashed together a Vietnam War epic with a Christian end-times movie, what might emerge is one of the recent social media videos produced by the Department of Homeland Security. In early July, the department posted a minute-long short ...As the action unfolds, a man is heard quoting from the Book of Isaiah: “I heard the voice of the Lord say, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go forth for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me.’” The theme was echoed three weeks later by another DHS video...set to a different ominous soundtrack — “I’m the Shadows,” by the electronica...

Oh great the GOP trying to fast track us into the imperium of mankind. Just ****ing great.

If the cartel have already launched heavy artillery into the U.S., it’s already war on.

It would likely be the amount of force proportional to what they are using.

Your evidence that border patrol agents are routinely under mortar fire is… what, exactly?

 

[bomberfox]

Poetry.

Constant misery where one’s only motivation is service to the emperor and penitence. Where being infected by the nurgle is viewed as the only happiness one gains from the industrial hellscape and constant war.

I never said the cartel were chucking morter fire, that was another poster. I said in a worse case scenario.

Heavy artillery now. Your little fantasy just gets bigger and bigger.
Next:
"Well if the cartel has already nuked Austin, we need to respond!!!"

Hey man, sometimes bad guys do things that are wrong and it's still wrong for you to do the same thing they're doing.

You can't mortar into Mexico and the fact that this has to be explained to right wingers tells us just how over the ****ing edge you people have gone.
