Again according to the link you provided it said one child.  And you have no idea if his judgment was good or bad here.  We lost a good chunk of SEAL Team 6 and a CH-47 a few years ago.  

If you look I've criticized Trump plenty because there's plenty to criticize.  It doesn't mean every criticism is valid.

You are correct. I do not find that word "into" either. My mistake. The quote is "You have a bunch of bad hombres down there. You aren't doing enough to stop them. I think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send them down to take care of it." I guess I assumed that meant troops going "into" Mexico because how else would he take care of the bad hombres? I don't expect he would just shoot at them from the border.

But again, the issue is not whether he actually said "into," it is the insulting tone taken with an ally and trade partner and the threat.

I gave you three links, but again again, this one, which I quoted regarding the children, has the numbers I gave.

I am not the only one who thinks Trump's judgment was bad in this case:
