    So much for protecting children and the sanctity of life. I mean. Abortion is off the table there, but they don’t respect living and breathing humans, not even women and children in need.

    No one will care because they lived, and if they died only a small number of people will care. This world is a waking nightmare.

    Missing a huge piece of information in the title and article: were they at least halfway across? Uniformed military members cannot cross the boarder conducting operations. As fucked as this situation is, Texas conducting military operations on Mexican soil is a whole lot worse. Given the tone of the article and the fact that they didn’t say, leads me to believe they were not on US soil and the guardsman could not do anything.

      On one hand I get what you’re saying, on the other hand is Mexico going to start a war with the US because a handful of National Guard members saved a mother and child from drowning in “their” water?

      I get that wars have started over more stupid shit, but I’d hope we have enough brain cells in the modern day to understand that that would be in no way an incursion or intentional act against Mexico.
