The enlisted man sees a high nail and immediately wants to hammer it down. Officer material first learns why that nail is too high before fixing anything. Then the nail is removed, replaced, or has some other solution that means the nail never rises again.
Griff's post was 100% spot on. Too many Americans are not officer material. Do not even learn from historical mistakes. And do not even want to know that those mistakes exists.
For decades we had open borders without any problem. What changed? Officer material would first answer that question. A wall is just the naïve with a big hammer whose solution is more wars, more violence, more hate, more action, more wasted money, ... and not once learning why WE created the problem. The wall represents the same misguided rhetoric that even destroyed Iraq's standards of living. Those who first learned facts before Iraq was invaded saw nothing good from that mistake ... because officer material first learns facts before making any conclusion.
It is no accident that hate of immigrants coincided with increased wacko extremist rhetoric. When brainwashing an enlisted man, preach concepts of 'evii' them verses 'gods choosen people' us. It worked for Hitler. It worked for George Jr's wasteful massacre of 5000 American soldiers in Iraq. It even worked to convince less educated (less moderate) Americans that smoking cigarettes increased health.
So many only know/knew what Fox/Pravda tells them to think. So few remember that facts must be obtained long before having any conclusion. Only officer material uses concepts that were taught even in junior high school science.
Griff's post lasered in on the reason why we have border problems. Including myths of violent crime increases. Deadbeat wetbacks living off welfare. And other myths told to the naïve by Fox and Limbaugh so that they *know* who is 'evil' - facts be damned.
The extremist need a new issue every month to keep brainwashing their followers. Latest 'hate' is immigrants. They forget to mention why those immigrants must be illegal AND why this problem did not exist before wackos started promoting hate of Hispanics, Asians, and other immigrants. Then lesser educated Americans will hammer anything they do not like.
