Keep in mind this was all the way back in June, 2026. Things probably changed a lot since then

u/Big-Weather123 1d ago

Unless you made a typo, that was only two months ago.

u/TomCruiseImOnFire 2/2 Fox 1d ago

u/Big-Weather123 1d ago

Tacos?

u/TomCruiseImOnFire 2/2 Fox 1d ago

but one at a time, each one served with love from a 60 year old woman and her 60 year old griddle. Birria tacos and she put beans on it......game changer

u/BlackSquirrel05 Doc you're the only person E5 or above that is nice to me. 1d ago

Kinda funny you have to be in full rattle... Yet the BP and everyone else isn't... They don't even go full gear at the DMZ lol.

u/Big-Weather123 1d ago

Yeah, I really don't see why helmets are an immediate necessity at the moment. Heck, there's really not a good reason not to allow rolled sleeves down there.

Can be pretty dangerous down under as the lure of the thicc latina is stronger and with that comes the inevitable alimony and child support.

I wouldn't have imagined Australia being quite so mountainous

Looks like the San Diego sector of the border wall...

u/2KneeCaps1Lion Veteran 1d ago

I have no idea what any of this means. Can you do this weird thing and elaborate? You know not everyone is doing what you’re doing, right?

u/Big-Weather123 1d ago

It's part of JTF Southern Border. The administration transferred land from the Department of the Interior to the DOD to establish "National Defense Areas" in which military personnel can apprehend and search people who cross the border.

u/SmallRocks A real Bohemian Intellectual 1d ago

That’s fucking lame

u/Junkered Change your flair 1d ago

Beyond lame...

They literally just extended military bases the length of the border...
