    Should Our Finest be Used to Paint the Wall?

    This is an outstanding use of our men and women in uniform. NOT!

    I cannot begin to voice my disgust for this assignment. Our men and women in the military did not sign up for this! It is demeaning and a waste of their time.

    Does anyone think maybe I'm pissed!

    Washington — Active-duty members of the military deployed near the U.S.-Mexico border have been assigned to spend a month painting a mile-long stretch of barriers to improve their "aesthetic appearance."

    Bet it would cost less with them painting it also.
