Paranoia

Has anyone else noticed that we are, in the form of sending National guardsmen to the southern border, about to experience a long term deployment of military assets within the United States? Maybe I'm the only one paranoid enough to be disturbed by this. However, I recall the initial deployment to South Vietnam being pretty small--and when you already have forces deployed, we've learned, you don't have to talk about deployment anymore if you want to increase the force size; you probably won't have to have any consultation about to speak of. Brilliant.
