Funny, how I remembered the Border Patrol/US Forest Service/ DEA all calling Special Forces in the 90’s requesting our presence on the border, in the forest, and leading the way to drug cartel factories and all for the very same reason, they were too scared to do it themselves, it was too dangerous.

I also remember the lads we sent to the US border reporting low flying aircraft coming from Mexico into the United States and when reported to the feds, nothing.

Just watched a “new” documentary on netflix concerning the hunt for pabalo escobar, the documentary stated the DEA “did it all” and not a single mention of US Army Special Operations involvement………….

I’m thinking the left-wing would like all the sheeple to think the “feds” are the absolute best at what they do.

Until it gets dangerous…….. then they call in Special Operations. Don’t believe me? Two words, “Waco Texas”. This time the FBI/ATF brought in Special Operations because it was “too dangerous”.

Wonder how long it will take before some national guardsmen and border patrol agents are once again caught taking bribes. Seems to happen every time the guard is sent to the border.

The stories we and JTF-6 could tell............:munchin

The Ft. Huachuca Aerostat was removed just after Biden was sworn in. The BP refused to answer press questions at first, then later said it was for maintenance. Does anyone know if the Deming and Yuma 'stats are still operational? It's been really windy the last couple of weeks, so they are probably grounded but ours is just gone.

Seems like the program is being discontinued

I would want to corroborate the story with a source a bit more reliable.

Ours is the TARS system. It is a bit of an eyesore and visible out our front window, but it also serves an important purpose. I hope they have a replacement. The timing is interesting, though. No more wall, no more Aerostat.

BTW, SAR also uses it to give directions to lost hikers or find injured and stranded folks.

I won't be sorry to see it go like the wind turbine they removed a couple of years ago.
