Oh shut up with that bullshit. Anyone who serves for any country is equal in my book. You shouldnt say things like that, my brother is a US Navy pilot and hes worked with the French, Brits, and Japs. He told me that "whoever goes on rant claiming their military is better than somebody else's is a complete asshole, becuase every service member gives an equal sacrifice and serves for something he or she believes in."

By the way, MNC - Div. Baghdad is HQ'd by the US Army.

What you need at the border is a shitload of ap mines. There are 2 borders in the World today, that are not being crossed illegally. One between North and South Korea, and another between Mauritania and Western Sahara. What those borders have in common, is a very large mine field.
