The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday that U.S. military personnel will not interact with immigrants approaching the U.S. border after President Trump deployed thousands of troops to prepare for the caravan.

"There is no plan for U.S. military forces to be involved in the actual mission of denying people entry to the United States," Gen. Joseph Dunford said, according to ABC News.

"There is no plan for the soldiers to come in with immigrants or to reinforce the Department of Homeland Security as they are conducting their mission," he continued. "We are providing enabling capability."

Military personnel will instead focusing on assisting Border Patrol staff to fill in gaps in physical barriers along the border, ABC reported.

3. Operation Wasteful Idiot is in full swing!

4. Most here knew this was going to take place.

Stop and think for a minute,do you really think the Military wants to get mixed up in harming or even touching human beings at the Border with the Camera's running. Not going to happen. The new Congress will pull their funds like yesterday.

5. Ya but Trump isnt really doing this with the intent of doing that either I think rather in

his delusional mind he thinks this show of force will help his party in the election.

9. Hope fully after tomorrow,

a Democratic Congress person puts the duck tape over Trump's sick mouth.

The major threat at the Border are the members of The Virgin Valley Puss Gut Militia. And COPD suffering slobs of the Texas Puss Gut Militia.

My guess is,one of These Groups will cause a innocent death and all hell breaks loose.

6. This is really bad optics for the US military.

They know it. No way are they going to shoot unarmed families trying to get away from their living hell in CA/SA. This will be over once the we seat a new Congress. Trump's Kabuki Theater will be over.

7. This isn't the first time the US Military told their boss to go fuck himself.

Kick out gays.... Hell no
Give me a parade .... Hell no
Shoot all the brown people ... Hell no


I've been disappointed with military leadership at times but at the moment I am grateful they are trying to walk the fine line between doing the right thing and not being court marshaled.
