ABILENE, Texas — A Texas National Guardsman says he is suffering from "emotional scars" after returning from a deployment to the U.S.-Mexico border, sources confirmed today.

Spc. Anthony Romo, who deployed for a two week rotation to guard his home state's border from illegal immigrants by watching movies in an air-conditioned tent, told reporters that he "really saw some sh-- down there."

“They were ghosts, I tell you. I don’t think I’ll ever be the same, after deployment,” he told reporters. “I just can’t, people just... stand there... for a living.”
