The administration hasn’t specified that the operations will be on foreign soil, afaik. Going after the cartels in Mexico could easily get out of control and cause issues with the Mexican government, which has not consented to this intervention. I think there’s a good chance this is an excuse to use the military domestically and normalize military presence in everyday life.
Anywho depending on what they do this is either gonna be more or less like Bush the Elder’s policy or it’s gonna be a shitshow lol

Setting aside the question of whether this is an appropriate use of military force, this is not an appropriate use of military service. Men and women join the military in order to defend this country from military threats, among other goals. Trump doesn’t respect that at all, insisting on using them to achieve a wide range of partisan policy goals. Whether that means sending the Marines to counter protests, or having the military enforce drug laws, all this is going to do is filter people out of the military who are there to do *military* service.
