>Trump administration first asked the Pentagon to send troops to the southern border, they wanted them to perform emergency law enforcement functions, CNN has learned.
>The Pentagon said no.
>The request was turned down because the Department of Defense felt that active duty troops do not have the authority to conduct that type of mission unless they are granted additional authorities by the President.
>Defense officials have repeatedly emphasized the troops at the border are there to support civil authorities and that they are not expected to come into any contact with migrants.

You apparently don't learn, say it with me >Commander >in >Cheif

Landon Taylor
Its like a game of grab ass with a girl you grab a titty and feel it out and if she laughs and gets closer she is into it but if you go full on fucking that is Trump using nuclear warheads on these migrants.
The army is saying they are into it but Trump will decide if its worth it getting wet now or to hold off until he is married 2020.
The troops are already at the border. This is a canadIan tier thread.

Sounds legit if you're elderly, maybe.
Carter Martinez
Oh yeah we've a been there.
Jaxson Martin
Looks like some moron in the Pentagon apparently forgot who the commander in chief of the armed forces is in the U.S
Adrian Ross
>HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA You again?
Nolan Baker
Someone at the Pentagon just lost their job
Adrian Cruz
this, its originally a CNN story, tells you all you need to know.

>unelected deep state bureaucrats telling the commander in chief he can't deploy troops to defend our nation >these same assholes sent 100 million dollars worth of cruise missiles at empty buildings in Syria kill them all
1) the Pentagon is not able to "refuse" anything from the President. Its more likely they advised the POTUS on what he has to do to make it a lawful order 2) Posse Comatatus (sp) os the legal term the prevents Federal Troops from enforcing civilian laws. 3) the Patriot act and this specific situation make this a VERY murky call for the military. 4) the work around is US Troops be put south of the borders -or- declare martial law and or a state of emergency in the border region. This would make Trumps ORDER (POTUS does not make requests of DOD) lawful.
Ryan Diaz
Ummm... the president doesn't "ask" the military to do anything. He gives orders and they follow. Jeeeezzzz... How can you be sooo stupid?
Brandon Evans
or the "work around" is that defending the borders of a nation obviously falls within the purview of the military, regardless of civilian laws or not
Owen Jenkins
this what the fuck
Brandon Foster
holy shit when did the Pentagon become a bunch of pussies
Sounds like lugenpresse not disclosing the truth as per usual
Cooper Wood
good
Tyler Rogers
>trump not being a cuck >ever
Caleb Thompson
It's perfect. People will see that there is no way to enforce the law other than giving Trump more power with their next vote.
William Gutierrez
You guys are fucking retarded. The military is not allowed to enforce civilian law in the United States unless martial law is declared. Military personnel are not trained to enforce civilian law. Its a liability because then the federal government is on the hook for trying to perform an action outside of their directives or jurisdiction.
No amount of arguing is going to change this. Likewise, immigrants, legal or not, are not legally classified as military personel, and cannot be engages as such under US and International law.
Isaac Nguyen
If the government refuses to protect the borders then the militias will.
Nolan Myers
THE CARAVANS ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF ACTIONS TAKEN BY AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS STARTING IN THE 40S ONWARD. THEY JUST WANT TO LIVE A SAFE LIFE.

Also Trump is commander in chief what the those retards are blabbering about?

Jeez how embarrassing
F*cked up on the hurricanes F*cked up on the mail bombs F*cked up on the mass shooting F*cked up on the caravan

Military wants more domestic power? Sounds like a great idea, send in the troops to deal with antifa
Brody Allen
>>unless granted additional authorities by the president >>blompfgh BTOF >unable to read nigger detected
LOL. Look, they have a mutiny. Now we all know Trump is a pussy and not a Hitler. Hitler would have shot the first general who refused and asked "who's next?"
The Posse Comitatus Act (1878)prohibited use of the U.S. Army to aid civil officials in enforcing the law or suppressing civil disorder unless expressly ordered to do so by the president. Southern Democratic members of the House who resented widespread use of federal troops during Reconstruction introduced the law. Posse Comitatus Act | Encyclopedia.com encyclopedia.com/social-sciences-and-law/law/law/posse-comitatus-act
this use to be talked about every year for fucking years, now no one mentions it, trumps a fucking moron.
This might be pushing the 4d chess meme out a bit. But surely if there is a plan to end ZOG it would include dirt on Netanyahu and require him to still be Prime Minister of Israel? If a new leader came in surely the plan put in place would have to be rehashed.
Justin White
>>The request was turned down because the Department of Defense felt that active duty troops do not have the authority to conduct that type of mission unless they are granted additional authorities by the President.
so what's the problem exactly...? Can't Trump just grant said authorities
Landon Miller
>are not legally classified as military personel
ya thats exactly the problem
Joseph Turner
They are already safe. Their country is not at war. Nobody is out to kill them. They're safe but poor. It's the part about being poor they want to change. They are economic migrants.
Michael Perry
>not legally classified as military personel,
doesn't need to be, they can be labeled as terrorists under the patriot act.
Dominic Miller
Trump just requested 300 secret service officers to accompany him to the border. Google it. IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING.
>unless expressly ordered to do so by the president
Daniel Morales
Tell me if i'm wrong but isn't the President the commander in chief for the military and can choose to send troops wherever he wants without anyone's say so? As far as i know the only thing involving troops he needs permission on is to declare war, and even then he can throw them into battle without that declaration.
Connor Rivera
Are these paid actors? Jesus, bunch of whiny babies!
Jaxon Bailey
Then they should have stayed in fucking Mexico when they OFFERED THEM ASYLUM you brain dead oxygen thief.
Alexander Parker
So many retards in this thread not understanding ‘the pentagon’ isn’t a branch of government that can do whatever it wants.
Isn't president top dog in the military, how can they say no to orders where's the public execution
Brayden Kelly
they really aren't. look into how corporations fuck them on food prices. they set the demand so high on produce then leverage other quotes against them so they have to cut their price to near break even operations. this leads to a hand in mouth lifestyle where they're essentially legal slaves. Getting to america is their only hope for their children. Most Guatemalans aren't bad and neither are El Salvadorans or Hondurans.
the president is god over the executive branch and military. if they refuse his orders, he can dismiss them from service and find someone who will. he even has the authority to call the public at large into military service if necessary.
Brandon Wilson
One plane wasn't enough

Being fucked over by corporation is called being poor. Running away from corporation that fucks over you is called being an economic migrant.
Brandon Hernandez
At least you don't have a totally incompetent woman in charge who (1) is responsible for us not even having 4 attack helicopters ready for flight and (2) burns through the millions by giving her cronies cushy ""advisory"" jobs to ensure everything stays that way.
Gabriel Hall
Story is bordering a lie. Do you really think the pentagon would be so eager to not deploy troops for any reason and have an excuse to spend more money?
Well, I guess it's up to the militias now. Nice work pentagog.
Elijah Rivera
>unless they are granted additional authorities by the President. >the pentagon replies by saying "we need you to declare martial law first" >GRUMBLEDRUMPTH!!!!
This is why you lose. Begone ye, Satan.
Elijah Johnson
Trump could legally declare martial law and send troops to round up all non citizens in LA and bus them across the border.
>president ask for troops >pentanigger say no >because "they do not have the authority to conduct that type of mission unless ranted additional authorities by the President."
president want X, but cant into X unless president says so... maybe im not getting something here
William Clark
>the Pentagon openly defying the COMMANDER IN CHIEF
What a fucking embarrassment. Can you imagine if the Chinese army told Xi Jinping to fuck off? Or if the Red Army told Putin they don't want to defend their borders? This is what happens when the institutions are packed with far-leftist fifth column faggots.
>sorry mr president. Only the president can deploy troops. What???
Anthony Gonzalez
>The request was turned down because the Department of Defense felt that active duty troops do not have the authority to conduct that type of mission unless they are granted additional authorities by the President. What did they mean by this?
