I guess people boat in it? When I was at Ft Bliss (El Paso, TX, though most of the land of the fort is in New Mexico, for those that don't know), I remember hearing about a number of drownings there, probably alcohol related.

Literally none of Ft. Bliss is in New Mexico, what a wierd thing to lie about/ make up.

Clearly you've never been to Ft Bliss. Why would anyone "lie" about where an Army fort is located in /r/army?

Technically McGregor, Dona Ana while part of Fort Bliss aren't Bliss might be the argument the poster is makin? IDK I'm on your side though.

Lmao it’s headquartered in El Paso, but extends well beyond Texas.

What a weird thing to say someone is making up when a 5 second google would tell you you’re wrong.

I would assume he's talking about going into White Sands, and since the areas are so close perhaps even adjacent, just assumed it was part of the contiguous base.

I had to drive past the World's Largest M80 firecracker every day. In New Mexico (fireworks are banned in El Paso county). Turned right at the Otero county, NM jail. Volunteered at the Chaparral Middle School. McGregor is in New Mexico. Doña Ana is in New Mexico, Oro Grande, New Mexico. Yeah, it borders White Sands Missile Range, which is miles from Texas. Something like 80 percent of Bliss is in New Mexico.

I dunno why that guy would say I'm lying. When he clearly has never been there.
