Guardsmen to be Honored After U.S. Border Incident
Nashville (AP) -- The Tennessee National Guard will honor four of its men for properly handling a tense situation while patrolling the Arizona-Mexico border earlier this month.
The troops were approached by a group of six to eight armed men while on patrol January third. They withdrew without confrontation, as they're trained to do.
One armed man with the unidentified group came as close as ten meters to the guardsmen.
Guard spokesman Randy Harris says the ceremony is expected to take place later this week and Tennessee National Guard Adjutant General Gus Hargett likely will attend.
About 250 guardsmen next month will begin the third deployment of Tennessee troops for President Bush's Operation Jump Start to reinforce US Border Patrol agents.
About 180 Tennessee Guard soldiers are now stationed at the border after volunteering to stay there for up to a year.

How can we be proud of this action we reward people because they run from confrontation on our border because they are programmed to do nothing. Two weeks ago we put two national guard in prison for trying to detain a drug dealer trying to bring hundreds of pounds of drugs to our children, on the promise of immunity to the drug dealer if he testifies against our troops. What message are we sending drug dealers and terrorist around the world.

A ceremony for running away from armed intruders. Beautiful. Just what America needs.

"Officials have said they do not know who the armed men were and what they were doing near the observation post" This will become a trend. No doubt they will test our border to see how far our policy will bend. I have searched for allmost an hour no id found.

Hmm, more to the story methinks?

Mexicans. Possibly Mexican army as this wouldn't be the first time the Mexican army has crossed the US border in the last couple of years. However most likely drug smugglers or coyotes. There was a National Park ranger murdered in Sahuaro National Park down by Tucson a couple of years ago by coyotes but of course nothing was done about it. And now our National "Guard" has order to retreat. Priceless. Makes me almost want to vommit.

America wake up, your a$$ is on the line!

I wonder what else it will take for Americans to actually get it?

America is being sold out! In every aspect of the matter.

...and when our kids and our kids' kids read about it in future history books, they will think: "Hmm, I wonder, how mysterious ... how could that happen?"
