National Guard on Border in Arizona

Well it seems some National Guardsmen who were on patrol in Arizona were attacked by a group of illegal aliens who were heavily armed and rushed them. Since the guardsmen are under orders to watch, not apprehend, not fire their weapons they then conducted a tactical retreat. Now Congress wants to know why they did. Maybe they should ask the 2 Border Patrol agents who are now serving 11 and 12 years for shooting a drug smuggler in the BUTT why these fine soldiers obeyed orders. On one hand we have 2 Border Patrol agents who did their duty fought an armed drug smuggling scum and chased him back across the border and now are serving prison terms and on the other hand you have 4 guardsmen who were being attacked by 12 illegal immigrants who were heavily armed. So now they should have shot? So what they could end up on trial because they would have killed all 12 if they had opened fire! And go to prison? The legal system set this entire problem up when they prosecuted two agents for doing their job and now Congress is surprised that others will not do what these 2 agents did in Texas?
