No, I learned about it from talking to a TX NG guy on a Discord I am part of; it was the first place I had heard about.No, but you'll have a bunch of citations from conservative media I hope?
Because as you say, the conservative media doesn't cover the actual conditions faced by the NG troops on the border except in relation to the illegal they detain and process.
Doing so would put a bad light on Texas, DC, the whole immigration issue, the DoD, and Mexico, so stories of NG people getting hit or shot at patrolling the border tend to get buried, if they are published at all.
Both the Dems and GOP have reasons to want to bury the real conditions on the border faced by the TX NG units.
And for other evidence, this was back in October:
So how about admitting this isn't lies and bullshit, and that the cartels are actively firing across the border at US NG units and LEOs.
I get you hate the any form of government as an AnCap, but I thought you had better critical thinking skills than this; I think your kneejerk dislike of the military and gov in general is leading you to some rather foolish rhetorical corners.
