Well, lucky for me you're probably limited to reenacting the Battle of Droop Mountain. :)

1) We're not at war with Central America. I support the Border Patrol's mission and by extension Homeland Security.
Given the results of the past 50 years on the southern border, I'd say your support isn't worth much.
Not sure where you're getting the Nazi part. Confederate yes, I have stated that the confederates were right and closer to the America envisioned by the founding fathers. As much as I admire General Jackson, Lee, Forrest, they ultimately couldn't win. DJT (against insurmountable odds) has won more than any Republican since Reagan.
Your time on Stormfront is noted by all here. And tell me that Stormfront doesn't promote Naziism. You can lie about that and you hid from this forum for quite a while, but we remember. The alt-right is infested with American Nazis, from William Dudley Pelley up to now. We see you.
Ajax is to Nazis what a lot of liberals are to Democrats. They might not formally consider themselves a Democrat (they're a moderate!), or agree with everything the Democratic party is doing, but they generally support it when push comes to shove and it's the best political framework available to represent their views.
Ajax on Stormfront repeatedly talked about his support of various core Nazi ideas and showed intimate familiarity neo-Nazi concerns and jargon from the perspective of a believer. He complained at one point that the Nazis didn't go far enough in their efforts to commit genocide against the Roma, but has since admitted that he was going "too far" with that sentiment.
He's a generic white supremacist who, like many white supremacists, agrees with a lot of other white supremacist subcultures on the big picture, but has differences of opinion on stuff that is significant to them, but doesn't mean a lot to us. If we're trying to be precise, he's a neo-Confederate with strong fascist tendencies. This just makes him a natural ally of neo-Nazis.
There's a schism in white supremacist culture over whether to support Russia and consider slavs to be "white." What's driving that is Putin's Russia has deliberately made themselves the world's biggest friend and patron of white supremacy and its authoritarian movements around the globe. Recently, Trump has become a conquering hero to white supremacists and constantly implies he's allied with Russia in this global mission. That runs into conflict with white supremacists who don't consider slavs whites and retain the original Nazi hatred of Communist Russia and slavic people.
Ajax joined one of these debates on the Russiophile side. The old-school neo-Nazis on the board were on the opposite side. For Ajax, something like this might be proof that he's not a neo-Nazi. For us, the fact that he mostly admires Nazi Germany and hangs out on a Nazi message board and calls the Nazis there his "family" is close enough.
There's too much to copy and paste. There's also too many nuggets of useful information that, if posted by themselves, would skew the factual reporting. So, I recommend anyone interested in this discussion to visit the website in order to get informed.

I haven’t looked at your link and it hypothetically could be fine Doc, but as a heads up “just facts” is a conservative alternative to fact-checking sites that is notorious for selective and misleading presentation of said facts.

I'm not really sure. I even bothered to google justfacts.com because I knew someone would claim a bias one way or other and this website had this to say about them:
The thing is I'm not really sure if the 'facts watchdog' is biased or the people who watch the watchdog are biased. Whatever the case may be, their fact-finding seemed to be relatively level-headed and that resonated with me.

Like I said, I cannot comment on that specific page. Your link backs up the reputation I mentioned. It’s conservative fact checking where facts are presented selectively for an editorial point of view. It’s not that they don’t refer to factual things or real research; it’s that they do in selective ways that create misleading impressions. It’s a step up from, say, Fox, but it’s not what its name implies. I only became aware of the site a little while ago due to a kerfuffle over them supporting the “illegal immigrants voting” narrative where they were misleading as all get out. I learned about their reputation from that.
From the 1980s to the mid-2000s, apprehensions at the border — the most common measure of illegal immigration — routinely reached more than 1 million migrants a year.
Today, they are near historical lows. In the fiscal year that ended in September, border authorities apprehended 521,090 people.
Outgoing CoS Kelly said this after talking to 'joe-sixpack' CBP agents:
When Kelly led Homeland Security in early 2017, one of his first steps was to seek advice from those who “actually secure the border,” Customs and Border Protection agents who Kelly calls “salt-of-the-earth, Joe-Six-Pack folks.”
“They said, ‘Well we need a physical barrier in certain places, we need technology across the board, and we need more people,’” he said.
I know I, as a tax payer, would feel better leaning into tech over a physical barrier for a host of reasons. Hopefully the Democrats can convince the Shitbird in Chief to do the same.
