Trump complains US troops at border 'can't get a little rough, like they would normally'

I only went back five years and I will admit that my search was a very fast scan, but I didn't find a single incident where "Mexicans soldiers/drug cartels henchmen that shoot at our troops". Possibly you'd like to provide links to the many hundreds of such incidents that I know you are aware of but which both the MSM and the US government are concealing from honest, hard-working, patriotic Americans?

Then again, possibly you wouldn't.

Are hundreds of examples necessary?

Cartels suspected as high-caliber gunfire sends Border Patrol scrambling on Rio Grande | Fox News
 

Nope.

However, slightly more than ONE, and with something more that "suspected", and possibly a bit more current than July 20, 2014, and maybe one that the Border Patrol had actually said something about, might be a slightly better indicator of what is happening NOW - don't you think?

PS - "'Triggerman' Convicted in 'Fast and Furious' U.S. Agent Murder" dated Feb. 13, 2019, refers to a 2010 incident so it is NOT with reference to an incident that is more current than the link you posted.

Please feel free to continue supplying the voluminous evidence that I just know that you have to back up your contention.

You provided ONE.

What you were asked to provide was "links to the many hundreds of such incidents that I know you are aware of but which both the MSM and the US government are concealing from honest, hard-working, patriotic Americans"

You provided ONE.

You then asked


"Are hundreds of examples necessary?"

which sort of indicated that I wasn't actually prepared to accept that a SINGLE incident absolutely proved that there were hundreds of such incidents and that incidents that happened five years ago absolutely proved that the same thing was happening today.
