Travel Experiences: Jeff Barganier: Secure Borders - Honest Elections

Travel Experiences with Jeff Barganier Secure Borders - Honest Elections

About forty-seven years ago as a US Army Reservist, I was assigned to the 322nd Military History Detachment. This unique unit was attached to the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Jeff exploring Fort Campbell Our job was to write a history of the 101st in Vietnam. My CO, Major McKenzie, told me years later that our work (mostly his work) was archived at Fort Campbell’s Don F. Pratt Museum. During a writing assignment to nearby Clarksville, Tennessee, I was allowed on post to visit the museum in search of this historical manuscript. To my chagrin, I found the road leading to Fort Campbell’s gate littered with tattoo shops, massage parlors, pawn shops, check cashing stores, title loan stores, beer joints, and “adult” novelty shops. I have always believed the presence of some such establishments, anywhere really, poses a national security threat. But perhaps this threat is especially keen near military installations. In my view, the proximity of prurient businesses to American Soldiers besmirches the honorable, heroic mission our servicemen and women face. Our warfighters deserve better. In fact, they deserve the absolute best. Not the crumbs. And certainly not the current incompetent civilian leadership in whose hands the American people have placed their destiny. The curator of the museum was out, so I was unable to locate the document. But before departing, my escort treated me to a tour of the post. There were few soldiers present because the 101st was in the field training. I learned later, according to a Pentagon announcement, that elements of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) had been ordered to deploy to Europe. Headquarters, 101st Airborne Division and the 2nd Brigade Combat Team have been notified to begin movement to Europe as soon as this summer. By the time you read this, the 101st may already be in Eastern Europe. The deploying units will join V Corps in support of the US commitment to Europe and NATO Allies as part of the ongoing response to the invasion of Ukraine. Following the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, whoever’s actually running the Biden Administration wants new wars. So, we pivot to Ukraine and Somalia.

As Major General JP McGee, Commanding General of the 101st Airborne Division explained, “Over the last six months we conducted two division-wide training exercises, greatly increasing the readiness of our Soldiers, units, and Families. As we have for the last 80 years, the 101st Airborne Division stands ready to deploy anywhere to support and defend the Nation and our Allies. The contributions and sacrifices that our Families make in support of our Soldiers are critical to our success. They are an integral part of the Screaming Eagle Team and we are committed to supporting them while deployed. Since D-Day, June 6, 1944, this division has repeatedly answered the Nation’s call in every major conflict. Once again, Screaming Eagles head to Europe. The Screaming Eagles of today are ready to support our Allies to preserve the long-lasting stability in Europe that our predecessors fought and died to secure.”

It disturbs me to see our brave young warriors deployed like pawns; not, as I see it, “to preserve the long-lasting stability in Europe” as General McGee states. But to secure the borders

of corrupt foreign countries while America’s borders are deliberately and systematically abolished. Meanwhile, terrorists—perhaps from those very countries we feign to protect, as well as from countries that flat-out hate us—infiltrate America through our open border. The invasion of our southern border seems no accident but follows the pattern of similar invasions of European countries. Invasion is part and parcel of the unrestricted league with America’s enemies.

Will millions of people flooding our country also be allowed to vote in fraudulent elections?

A nation without borders isn’t a nation. The 101st should be deployed on OUR border!

Because immigration and election laws are not being enforced, we are witnessing the lawless destruction of our country; and becoming an increasingly subjugated people. In effect, we are now the United States of America in name only. warfare our enemies have declared And whether or not America is ever against us, designed to destabilize restored to its former status depends America and overwhelm resources. on four words: The fact that invasion is allowed, if not encouraged, would seem to SECURE BORDERS - HONEST ELECTIONS constitute treason as committed by the Biden Administration’s puppet May God help us during this season masters whose policies place them in of feckless leadership, skyrocketing inflation, widespread lawlessness, border control by narco-terrorists/ human-traffickers, suppression of speech, fraudulent elections, food shortages, $30.5 trillion US debt--$40 billion to Ukraine, etc., etc.

Happy 4th of July!
