Thousands more soldiers will deploy to Pacific to increase Army footprint
By: Todd South  


In a move to bolster U.S. troop presence in the Pacific, the Army has plans to deploy thousands of soldiers to the region for ongoing rotations.

The new deployments could include as many as 5,000 to 10,000 troops, the equivalent of a division headquarters and several brigades, Gen. Robert Brown, commander of Army forces in the Pacific, told Stars and Stripes in a media roundtable interview this week.

Brown said that existing rotations and forces stationed in the region would remain in their assigned missions and that the new rotations would add to that force strength.

Ok,so now why doesn't someone explain to me why they are needed there?

Good question, sneaky.

If they are "needed" anywhere, it's on our southern border.
Why not deploy them THERE...?

Yeah,THAT makes sense. No way in hell the Dims or their globalist alleged Republican brothers are going to go along with it,though.

I shudder even to think of the "carbon footprint" that would leave on the world.
