Excellent question posed by CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
There are 1,200 National Guard troops deployed along the U.S. border with Mexico.
The troops were scheduled to leave June 30th, but an extension is likely.
To be fair, there are about 20,000 border agents also on patrol along the 2,000 mile long U.S.-Mexican border.
That’s about 1 agent or soldier every 10 miles.
In comparison, there are 28,000 U.S. troops stationed along the South Korean border with North Korea.
The border between North & South Korea is only about 150 miles.
So, there are almost 200 U.S. soldiers per border mile in North Korea.
And, that’s not counting the highly regarded South Korean army.
Does that make sense to you ?
Hmmm …
