No way.

They would have those kids running around out there without ammo. Really guys, everyone assumes that Soldier + Weapon = Lethality. But they never give them any ammo unless they actually are in combat or doing live fire.

They do not want to explain how someones' dead boy was killed because some bone head put the red magazine in his weapon instead of the blue magazine.

Immediately after 911 we had students(soldiers) here at Fort Huachuca posted as security at the buildings and other possible targets on the base. They all had weapons, not any of them had ammo.

I complained that terrorists didn't need to bring anything more then a pistol or a good knife along with a bandolier of ammo in magazines to have a real party. It made no difference.

This would only get some soldiers killed.

The Border Patrol has every resource they need to do the job except the one that is most important, the orders to do so.
