Champion  10157    Alabama |  Subject: Invasion USASo the Trump administration is taking heat for using tear gas on the 'migrants' storming the border. I think they did exactly what they needed to do. Tear gas is very minimal use of force. When I was in basic training in 1980 we had to go into a gas chamber filled with CS gas (tear gas). We went in with our gas masks on. After a few minutes we had to remove our gas masks and then make our way to the exit. Here is a picture of me exiting the gas chamber.

LOL LOL You guys are hardcore! I work with Army, AF and Naval officers. I tell this story to explain the different languages the services speak. If you tell the Marines to "secure a building" they will launch a mounted assault and dig fox holes around the perimeter. If you tell the Army to "secure a building" they will post an armed guard at the door. If you tell the Navy to "secure a building" and they will turn off the lights and lock the door. If you tell the AF to "secure a building" and they will take out a 3-year lease with an option to buy. |

Expert 944 Waller County, TX | Subject: RE: Invasion USA Correction. Marines do not dig fox holes, they dig "fighting" holes. There is a difference. (My son is an infantry officer.) |

(My son is an infantry officer.) True. Army calls them IFPs or individual fighting positions but I figure most people know what a foxhole is. :-) |
