It sure looks that way, looking back.

GWB incompetent? Yes, I'll agree. Trump incompetent as Commander In Chief?
Yes, a bit - but not spending soldiers' lives like they're pennies like GWB.

A period of incompetency ensued for about 24 years, but it's getting better
now. GWB & Obama strengthened ISIS so much that they gained control of half
of the middle east; somehow they were not big priorities for either commander
in chief.

I agree. I'd take a Clinton over a Bush. Thousands died, and thousands are
physically and/or mentally wounded. And what did these wars do for our
national debt?

 LL> We have secure borders.  And we should continue to keep

But this is where I disagree with you. You're an ex-military guy - guys like
me call you "tough-guys." You ain't scared of illegal aliens who might try
murdering you in a robbery, because you're probably able to wake up from a
deep sleep & strangle them to death with your bear hands like 2nd nature.

But guys like me are NOT prepared for that. We've got our cellphones close
by, ready to call for help, but we don't sleep well knowing that there are
people lurking outside our windows who have snuck into the USA illegally, and
they're extremely desperate, and ready to hide our bodies with sulfuric acid.

We lack the training, courage & discipline to be unconcerned with illegal
aliens.

 LL> But a wall?  That makes us less secure?  And costs far

The wall sounds like a primitive method, but the request comes from border
patrol & not from President Trump.
