The US has bases in 140 countries and everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over a few Mexican Border Agents. Is the boundary line painted in the sand? Pretty dumb comment about "maps".

"Wish I was there", yeah right! With your walker?

Well you see Mr. Professor, when I was in the Army we got this training called land navigation. We are issue maps, compases and protractors, nowadays we even have hand held GPS that can tell you your location in grid cordinates at any given time, in case you can't comprehend how do do it manually. I kind of assumed other countries did this for there military and agents as well. Educate.

P.S. before you rant, the story said 4 Mexican Soldiers, not Mexican border agents.

It's "their" instead of "there" but not bad for a Army guy.

See where assume gets you? You make an *a*s*s* out of *u* and *m*e*.

I didn't notice in the story that they had maps or GPS devices, and even if they did it is common practice for law enforcement to pursue beyond boundaries, or is that another practice supported only for US law enforcement?

Thanks for the lesson, obviously you don't get out much and deal with reality.

We took their land so what is so big of a deal that their soldiers crossed over for a few minutes? Maybe it is time for the U.S. to return the land that we took from them. Don't get excited, I am just kidding.

Gee, what were those pesky soldiers doing at the border? Selling drugs to the US border agents maybe?

Lets hear all the lame BS. Let it rip, spin away.

Wow, you so missed my entire point, next time don't be so quick to ridicule , maybe you will actually understand a point being made, which was NOT that they had maps, gps or training in land nav, but that they SHOULD have. HELLOOOO McFly anybody home?

What lame BS, if you pay attention to international news, which in a border town you should, you would know the Mexican Gov. Removed those agents and replaced all border agents with Soldiers. Where do you even get your assumptions from? Bazooka Joe wrappers? SHUSHHH!!!

It's about time we found a use for those drone planes besides being a cash cow for New Mexican politicians like Domenici (who conceived the boondoggle).

They can be armed and can destroy any ground target.

But wait, that would require a Government with balls.

Never mind.
