Texas Drifter Porous Border Math 101
Marshall’s Law Townhall Dateline – Following basic security math is intended to teach conservative patriots how to “see through” Leninist Democrats and Moderate Republican propaganda lies about securing America’s Southern porous border with Mexico.
Obama recently bragged about sending twelve hundred (1200) troops to America’s Southern border. First question, do twelve hundred (1200) troops sent to border include required support staff? Good guess from the chronically lying Obama is no.
Reliable experienced sources suggest it takes estimated twenty (20) support staff for every pair of Armed Forces “boots on the ground”. Follow closely, twenty support staff plus one pair of boots on ground add up to twenty-one (21) total personnel divided into twelve hundred (1200) equals about fifty seven (57) pairs of boots on ground.
That one pair of boots is expected to be in service twenty-four (24) hours a day, every day, every week, every month until assignment is completed. Being in service 24 hours a day for one pair of boots seems unrealistic; so in-service time should at lease be reduced to twelve (12) hours a day, seven days a week, and so on.
Translation: 57 pairs of boots divided by two (2) equals 28 and half pairs of boots on ground for estimated two thousand (2000) mile southern border with Mexico. You do the math: 2000 mile border divided by 28 pairs of boots equals one pair of boots on ground along America’s Southern border with Mexico every seventy miles (70).
That means one (1) pair of boots on ground every seventy (70) miles for perimeter security, intelligence gathering; as intervention and detention are not part of publicly stated objectives.
Last time federal troops were sent to South Texas for border security, some ended up washing cars of some Texas County Commissioners. Texas Drifter’s professional values and standards dictate that having America’s finest and best wash cars for Texas County Commissioners who are for most part corrupt like Chicago politicians is insulting waste of talent and training of members of America’s professional Armed Forces.
Moving on to basic math for Federal Border Patrol Agents which also depends on twenty (20) support staff to one (1) boots on ground estimated ratio. Their assignments include perimeter security, intelligence gathering, screening, apprehension, detention, and deportation. One major difference is that Border Patrol agents are inclined to work forty (40) hour shifts.
It takes about five (5) shifts to keep one pair of boots on ground around clock twenty-four seven and so on. Breaks down to three shifts Monday through Friday, and two shifts over weekend with extra boots being used to fill in gaps for: training, injury leave, sick leave, emergency leave, annual leave and so on.
Example, Obama or Moderate Republicans like John McCain is and Bush was just as bad, offers to send one thousand (1000) agents to border not including support staff. Now you know why Border Patrol Agents have to spend so much of their time not pursuing their assignments, rather spending their time doing what never assigned support staff should be doing.
Moving on, One thousand agents (1000) divided by five (5) shifts equals two hundred (200) agent boots on ground for two thousand (2000) mile border; one pair of boots on ground for every ten (10) miles.
Texas Drifter makes no claim that a “sharp pencil” in right hands would not end up with differing numbers. Make no mistake, Texas Drifter numbers are infinitely closer to truth than Leninist Democrats or Moderate Republicans propaganda lies.
This tired old almost worn out nearly broken down part time demented farmer’s son with three plus decades of real world not desk pilot experiences in intelligence, investigation, and security industries can assert without hesitation that sending Armed Forces’ professionals or Federal Border Patrol agents into “harms way” without AVAILABLE adequate personnel, support staff, and other necessary resources (what a long thought); is criminal negligence at best and treason to national security at worst.
Answers to what are sufficient personnel, support staff, and other resources can be left to those in know with less tired minds than Texas Drifter. Bottom line is that conservative patriots should now be able to identify and debunk propaganda lies about resources being sent to secure America’s southern border.
Securing America’s border is not a new problem for educated aware of “border bandit days” during first part of America’s twentieth century. General Pershing and Texas Rangers solved border violence problems before America’s entrance into World War I. Wonder if Obama’s Democrats and Moderate Republicans Bush and McCain had guided America’s security objectives then; some thoughts are too vile to finish.
At least when Texas Drifter was younger, I could pretend to dull edges with one and sometimes more “tall Crown on rocks”. Now pretending to dull edges seems like futile attempt to; what do you the reader care, you have your own edges to dull?
One of Texas drifter’s best known lessons: citizens who ignore national security spend too much time at cemeteries. Absolute brutal reality: until Americans tire of their loved ones, relatives, friends, neighbors, compatriots being brutally murder, raped, mutilated, assaulted, kidnapped, robbed, slaughtered on roads by drunk drivers by tens of thousands of illegal immigrants; guess socializing at funerals and hospitals will continue.
Would close with ENJOY, though that is too cynical even for a Texas Drifter. That is Texas Drifter, orphan some money; or Mr. Texas Drifter to Communist Democrats (excluding Reagan Democrats), not excluding Moderate Republicans, and rest of America last crowd.
