You heard it right my friend! Even though the US military already has three riverine squadrons with little to do and itchy trigger fingers the state of Texas has manned its own riverine flotilla. After being denied additional maritime support by Homeland Security Texas just said "fuck it we will buy our own toys". So they did....
The 34 ft V-shaped hull design and outboards makes this boat more of a "shallow water interceptor" then a true riverine boat; but with trip merc 300's, three crew served weapons mounts, and also packing a couple of .50 cal barretts these boats are a force to be reckoned with.
I appreciate the way my state is taking the bull by the horns and getting the job done but when you already have a professional force, with the necessary training and no war to fight, why the hell wouldn't you use them? Jesus christ those riverines are getting payed regardless wether they are sitting in virginia on their asses or overseas working. Now I am sure the Highway patrolmen are good at their jobs but patrolling rivers is not what they were trained to do. Lets have the professionals come down here and take care of our little problem with the smugglers and the drug cartels....Mark my words H.P. your six new boats are nice but you are still outgunned. Bring in the Pro's with their mini guns, mk 19's, and all the three kinds of riverine specific jet boats; then we will really be taking the fight to the enemy. I can see it now; the tracer fire over the water, hundreds of round pummeling the enemy, the cartel boats on fire and slowly sinking into the waters of the Rio.....It would be glorious.
