   I fail to see much of a difference.  "secure the perimeter of such a   
   facility" is the easy part.  To reach his stated goal of "taking the oil   
   for our country" would require securing supply lines,   
   ie. protecting/patrolling pipelines, supply routes into cities, securing   
   ports and vessels to export the oil from the country.  These are not   
   things that are easily accomplished, I guarantee the type of "boots on   
   the ground" you envision he means would lead to the same type of   
   violence and domination you claim to rail against.   
      
   Clearly you've succumbed to Trump's erratic and arrogantly delivered   
   rhetoric.  I feel sorry for you!
