Opinion | If Republicans loved the troops so much, they’d denounce the border stunt

This is the sad part of the troops going to the border, the Republicans aren't saying a word, not one word. I guess their God has spoken to them and that's the way it will be. BAA. BAA. BAA. When I see a republican running for office I tell myself we already have enough 'Sheep.'

How much is this stunt costing taxpayers?

Protecting the homeland is about the only thing I approve of using the military for.

I’m a decorated war veteran (former US Army Officer) +I absolutely c this as a stunt.There’s no way we’re being “invaded.” Invasion suggests force, evil intent,weapons, etc,not the usual small group of war-torn,terribly unfortunate folks who stream in.

Lol, troops defending borders and territory and not invading somewhere halfway around the world.... imagine that.

The on,y stunt here is a bunch of foreign nationals heading the US just in time for Election Day.

Those republicans are hypocrites stop waiting on trump and the republicans to turn into saints IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.!!

Wait you support the Military? Well FAKE NEWS what's the issue? Has actually defending the Nation got you Triggered? FAKE NEWS

Just when I think you assclowns cant sink any lower and there you go proving me wrong again. We need them on the border, these people are challenging us. WWG1WGA CloseTheBorder QANON

Lol imagine thinking the military doesn’t exist to protect its nation.

If Zionists loved America they wouldn't send them to die in the middle east.

They are afraid to speak out. Trump will trash them. It is their own fault for not speaking against Trump in the very beginning of all this madness.

The military is there to protect the border. We have a military to preserve our country and secure the borders from invasions.

Americans you do realise these people and their governments are disobeying Trumps orders. This is a threat to our home defense and national security As is giving them power over Americans in our country.

If demarats loved border. Soros would send them back. And quit paying 4 food and water. Y'all are jokes. Just like obamas rally lol

Quick reminder: Cadet Bonespurs’ family has NEVER served the United States of America Resist GrifterGOP VoteThemOut

Mattis already said it isn't a border stunt. Give it up, WAPO. This is old.

The opinioner suggests this is not good for the troops. How good is it to have 7000 unknown people who have already defied Mexican authority over for lunch?

Just another excuse to hurt POC! SMDH

Tell Mattis that.

IF YOU LOVE ILLEGALS SO MUCH YOU WOULD PAY FOR THEIR EXPENSES ALL THEIR LIVES AND MOVE THEM IN YOUR OWN HOME AND NOT AS A BABY SITTER FOR YOU AND YOUR LAZY WIFE.

Why can't you support the President's effort to protect the American people? It seems the Washington Post just hates America and Americans. Is that a pre-qualification to work there? 'Do you hate Americans?' 'Yes' 'Great - you're hired.'

Frivolous outfits like WaPo do 'stunts'. As Gen. Mattis said: 'We don't do stunts'.

So if they make it here & try to crossover are the orders to open fire? What's the real game plan or is this another smoke screen?

They would also fund a better VA and not start pointless imperialistic wars. They only care about troops as political tools, not as people that sacrificed for the US.

Stretching such a long ways with this, along with your preaching about what it means to be Christian... Aren't you all working on the news over there?

The caravan is the “stunt;” not our security reaction to protect our sovereign border and to enforce our asylum laws. Nice try, again.

VETERANS join the legendary SAN PATRICIO BATTALION fighting bigotry in US Army and US Government since 1846. and we will again

All this rag offers is divisiveness. fakenews divisive irresponsible

When is 7,000 illegals marching towards US a “stunt?

talk and action are 2 very different things... VOTE!

Non sequitur. Thankfully just an opinion, so it's all good.

You're right. Those troops belong in the Middle East dying to protect our interests, not our silly borders. BlueWave2018 migrants

Didn't Trump give them the biggest pay raise in nearly a decade?

they dont and it is a BorderStunt

Protecting our border is a 'border stunt' Isn't that like the mission of our military, to defend the homeland from foreign threats Any way you slice it 10,000 people marching to your border and demanding entry all at once IS A SECURITY THREAT to any sovereign nation.

And if democrats cared so much about children they wouldn’t be fine with getting abortions because it’s more convenient and cheaper than raising a child.

bad opinion

I love when opinionators are just issuing orders as if people care what they think

Opinions are a dime-a-dozen and some cases are worth even less... In this case people should be asking for a refund...

What? Pist doesn’t even make sense they are so far out there.

Like of they loved unborn children so much, they'd actually love them when they're born human beings that become adults.... o wait...

Why wont the Washpost or ANY other MSM outlet write even ONE story about the hundreds of thousands of LEGAL American families who have had their lives destroyed by criminal illegal aliens? Why does the Washpost hate LEGAL Americans?

Trump, and his family, doesn't actually support the troops, they're just props.

If democrats loved this country, they'd denounce border stunt.

Because the Wash. Compost said so👌

Why is the Wapo soFullOfSchiff? Securing our southern border is a legitimate mission for the US military.
