From the New York Times:

Trump Sends Troops to the Border

What are the president’s priorities?

By Patrick Chappatte, Nov. 1, 2018

Mr. Chappatte is an editorial cartoonist.

I like how the poor bastard who enlisted to fight in The Forever War in the Middle East is an elderly white-mustached Wilford Brimley-lookalike who must have enlisted on 9/12/2001.

I also like how the New York Times gives its cartoonist a headline and a subhead to explain his cartoon.

Update: Apparently, the original caption read “I enrolled to fight in the Middle East.”

A good piece about the silliness--and costs--of Trump sending more US troops to the border to confront a caravan 1,000 miles away than he has deployed in Syria or Iraq: https://t.co/cl0g3fNZCw by @helenecooper — Nicholas Kristof (@NickKristof) October 31, 2018
