WTF!!! American soldiers disarmed BY Mexican troops on US side of the border!

"Officials confirmed that the Mexican troops were armed with what seemed to be rifles. They raised their weapons when they saw the two U.S. soldiers, and then took a pistol from one and put it in the CBP vehicle. According to officials talking to CNN, the two Americans obliged "in an attempt to de-escalate a potential volatile situation.""

"U.S. Northern Command said in a statement that "five to six Mexican military personnel questioned two U.S. Army soldiers who were conducting border support operations" this month. The U.S. soldiers were in an unmarked Customs and Border Protection [CBP] vehicle near the southwest border near Clint, Texas."

doesn't anybody else finds this totally insane?

They were on the U.S side of the border, but they were on the south (Mexican) side of the fence/barrier.

Probably added or caused the confusion ?

from the article, yes, it says: "Though they were south of the border fence, U.S. soldiers remained in U.S. territory, north of the actual border."

i guess this, and the unmarked car caused for some confusion. but regardless, it shows that there is a lot of shit that needs sorting out there. and what were the mexican troops doing, serving as a lookout for a run of drugs or people?

the whole thing stinks.

Dont mess with Mexico...remember yourself at El Alamo...

yeah, sure. and go fuck off while you're at it.

oh well, nobody cares. one last bump
