This latest move will raise the total active duty forces to about 4,352 or so.
“Additional units are being deployed for 90 days, and we will continue to evaluate the force composition required to meet the mission to protect and secure the southern border,” a Pentagon spokesperson said because buildings cannot speak.
Roughly 2,407 active duty forces are currently at the border--many are going home and being replaced by the new deployment.
The announcement comes as a congressional committee seeks to reach a deal on border security funding to avert another partial government shutdown. House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi, however, has refused to honestly negotiate with the president because she hates his guts, and will not go along with funding the wall.
President Trump has hinted at declaring a national emergency if the deal doesn’t include funds for a border wall, but this will no doubt be legally challenged, and if Trump is successful [which is unlikely] it will set the stage for future presidential power-grabs when the Democrats finally take over and try to run the country into the ground.
The lack of an agreement on funding for a border wall closed portions of the government for 35 days, but the question that remains is who will the American people blame for the shutdown this time?
The replacement troops will be used to install additional barbwire barriers and provide a large new system of mobile surveillance and monitoring of the border area.
The Pentagon has approved an extended U.S. deployment to the border through the end of September when the kids go back to school.
Last week, members of the House Armed Services Committee grilled top defense and military leaders about the border mission, demanding details on its impact on military readiness and whether needed training and other jobs were not being done as a result, such as protecting the nation from terrorism threat and killing the remaining scumwafers of ISIS abroad.
“What impact does it have to readiness to send several thousand troops down to the Southern border? It interrupts their training. It interrupts their dwell time,” said Rep. Adam Smith, (D-WA) and chairman of the committee.

On a lighter note, the Democrats have been hawking the idea of a Green New Deal which would cut military spending in half, whereby we would reach a point in which sending troops to the border would not be "a thing" because there wouldn't be enough troops to send or equipment to use.
I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
