Build The Wall GoFundMe

[Drummond]

you guys have totally lost your minds. you guys are going to build an engineered wall for hundreds of miles?

There are precedents elsewhere in the world. Those involved extensive wall-building in ages rather more primitive than ours. Yet, those structures were completed, and served their purposes.

Examples of that 'insanity', then ... these come to mind ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian%27s_Wall

Hadrian's Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium), also called the Roman Wall, Picts' Wall, or Vallum Hadriani in Latin, was a defensive fortification in the Roman province of Britannia, begun in AD 122 in the reign of the emperor Hadrian. It ran from the banks of the River Tyne near the North Sea to the Solway Firth on the Irish Sea, and was the northern limit of the Roman Empire, immediately north of which were the lands of the northern Ancient Britons, including the Picts.

It had a stone base and a stone wall. There were milecastles with two turrets in between. There was a fort about every five Roman miles. From north to south, the wall comprised a ditch, wall, military way and vallum, another ditch with adjoining mounds. It is thought the milecastles were staffed with static garrisons, whereas the forts had fighting garrisons of infantry and cavalry. In addition to the wall's defensive military role, its gates may have been customs posts.[1]

A significant portion of the wall still stands and can be followed on foot along the adjoining Hadrian's Wall Path. The largest Roman artifact anywhere, it runs a total of 73 miles (117.5 kilometres) in northern England ..

Romans, in AD 122, could do this. You think that for America to build something comparable, around two millennia later, isn't feasible ?

Try this example, then ...

... the GREAT WALL OF CHINA ...

How long is the Great Wall of China?

21,196 kilometers (13,170 miles)

The total length of the Great Wall of China built in different dynasties is 21,196.18 kilometers (13,170.70 miles), announced by China's State Administration of Cultural Relics in 2012. The length of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) is 8,851.8 kilometers (5,500.3 miles)

Case made, I think, Pete. Don't you ??

Or are you suggesting that the modern United States of America is too feeble to manage a wall a fraction of the lengths of these, and defend that wall, if need be ?
