Mexican Military Helicopter Flies Into U.S., Shoots at Border Patrol Agents, Flies Back - Katie Pavlich

So, that's weird.

According to a local news report from KVOA News 4 out of Tucson, Arizona, at least one Mexican military helicopter crossed into the United States early Thursday morning, shot at Border Patrol agents using lethal force and then flew back to Mexico. Once the helicopter was back on the ground in Mexico, an apology was issued.

Temporary distraction from another activity?

Too bad Col. Hannibal Smith wasn't involved. There wouldn't have been a Mexican chopper left to fly back to Mexico.

I've always wanted to shoot down a Mexican military chopper

.22 lr should do it.

Might be cheaper to fire the SAM than .22

Probably easier to find!

On the OP, what do we do when the Canadians come across with guns ablaze?

Usually help them drop the bear that is chasing them.

That's just the French-Canadians, isn't it?

Its a very violating feeling to have foreigners enter your borders and attacking your people.

Good thing they don't have drones and delusions of fixing our problems.

My attention was drawn to the last sentence in the article:

Meanwhile, Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi is still rotting in a Mexican jail.

Apparently we need some US helicopters blowing the dogsh*t out of Mexico until they take a hint.

We could give them back all their missing children.

Goodness, you forgot the best part--we do all this, create a massive problem which did not previously exist, and then use it as the justification for doing more of the same. I am not bending on not tolerating it being done to us, but then again, as you say, we need to stop doing it to others*.

* I have no problem with dealing with other countries' problems when they allow their problems to become our problems, but that is an entirely different situation. I do, however, feel the need to specify that I refer to real problems, not bogus problems which either do not exist or do not threaten our interests, or problems we deliberately manufacture in order to justify 'fixing' them.

We could give them back all their missing children.

Better yet, we could demand they take them back and further demand that mex.gov stop providing material assistance to those attempting to illegally enter the US.

Get off my lawn?

Seems like a good universal principle to follow.
