The Caravan(s)

[Lou]

I'll take that as a no 

[Rico]

I would say the mission matters. When we started operations in Afghanistan everyone was pumped for that.  If someone had sent me to the border on some bullshit mission I would be cursing them out right now.

are the troops complaining?

Does the legitimacy of a situation depend on whether or not people complain about it?

the voices of those people who are actually involved legitimize the complaints

I can guarantee you they are complaining to each other.  But they are also professionals and aren't going to make any public comments.  Technically they can't.  They explain to you in bootcamp that you are now U.S. property.  If you hurt yourself doing something stupid you are damaging property of the U.S. government.  As such you also don't have freedom of speech.

It was a good thing for me that Facebook and Twitter didn't exist back then.

several reports on twitter tonight too about the mexican locals wanting nothing to do with the caravan and trying to get rid of them.

Lol at the swarms of morons that ever believed this was a thing

[Rico]

I mean, the troops were only three states away from where the caravan was actually going.
