15,000 troops divided by the 1954 miles...

...of the US-Mexico border, divided again into 3 8 hours shifts would be one soldier every 2.5 miles

I realize this is very simplistic, and not how it would be done, but it struck me as an intriguing perspective.

15000 is not enough and Trump is soft on border security?

I think the whole notion is ridiculous.

I do think Trump is soft in the head.

I agree the idea of 15000 troops needed to defend the border from a few thousand immigrants is ludicrous

I don’t think the troops are being used like that. It’s not like they are setting up Infantry defensive positions along the border.

When the Army sends people down it’s 99% support units. They back up Homeland Security or Border Patrol.
