Figures......... that the media didn't run a story on it until now. Remind me of the PT boats from McHale's Navy. Do the new boats have depth charges?

Since the USS Texas is having troubles staying afloat............Tow her as far as possible up the Rio Grande, and start dropping 14" shells on the cartels.

That'll shut em' up.

I don't think our Governor cares. And I'm not sure what authority POTUS would have to shut down a patrol boat with "defensive" weapons. If he does, I see these boats getting new lettering that say Texas National Guard.

Meanwhile we apparently have a member secretly building one of these boats near Ray Hubbard to defend against Jet Ski, errr, I mean Taliban attacks.

I bet the Texas militia has the fastest and heaviest armed cigarette boats anyone has ever thought of........

*And if they need more ballast, Sherriff J. W. Pepper from the old James Bond movies would do just FINE!

Rumor has it that he has mined certain areas just off shore....Also, protecting interests on or around Lake Cooper and Lake Texoma.
