Our troops are for fighting in foreign wars, not for protecting America’s borders, so says a new comic New York Times.
Cartoonist Patrick Chappatte dropped this gem on Thursday:
What are the president’s priorities? https://t.co/oztmlc53oX pic.twitter.com/IX6iIK4xE4

The comic didn’t go over so well:
What kind of American enlists to fight in the Middle East and not to protect his own country? This illustrates how out of touch media is.

It’s enlist not enroll.
Defending the country and its’ borders is part of the role of the armed forces.
This is actually an appropriate use of their assets.— Peter (@crankyfucker) November 2, 2018
You obviously believe his priority should be to kill middle easterners for Israel, and you think this is what American teens are joining the army for. https://t.co/QaV46c3kjk

>I signed up to fight on behalf of someone else’s country for poorly defined indirect domestic benefit.
>Not to directly fight a foreign invading force on my own country’s border.Pol. cartoonists are so far away from patriotism that they can’t even comprehend the core concept.

The military is intended for National Defense, not to act as corporate pawns in a sandbox on the other end of the world.
I personally hope he removes every last soldier from the Middle East to deploy to the border.
