There is no such thing as an "ex-Marine." Once a Marine, always a Marine. By the way, he is still in the Active Reserve and he's still being treated for PTSD following deployments.

Are these idiots in Mexico trying to start a war? Do they want us to bomb their **** hole country back into the stone age?

Those agents were attacked by Mexicans throwing rocks at them from the Mexican side of the fence.

Quite frankly I have had it with Mexico, we should have taken the whole thing in 1848. Would have saved us alot of trouble in the long run.

Except it would have ended up giving us a whole bunch of corrupt voters and politicians. Hmm! Not too different from now.

Less bias source? Also, considering the nature of drug runners, the one getting shot may be with others who either shot at border patrol or the victim shot at border patrol and his friends picked up the gun before leaving the scene.

Bias source. Link talks about a video, no video given neither on website nor any of its linked sources.

Indeed. The invasion began in, oh, 1492. But we don't like to call it that - we say we "discovered" the land. Because only brown people who are generally not being violent or trying to stake claim to the land they step foot on "invade". Yes yes?
