I mean like not worth dragging a month-old story in Sanford in to genuflect about, in the left’s view.
I wonder how many other potential Zeta contractors are about to get found?

sorry but the army, Navy has been infested with PC useless idiots today.
Yes there are good men and women but the PC members are getting more and more and officers being promoted based on PC is killing the Army and Navy.
Thankfully the Marines are holding out and only have a couple of idiots but how long with that last?
Cross dressers, Manning, homosexuals, girlie men, lazy lazy lazy men and women.
Many now only join to get their freebies like college and that especially certainly applies in the support roles.

I just need to whiten up these guys just like the Democrat Media Complex did with George Zimmerman. They just really look too much like Holder's 'people'.
Can you help with the melanin?

EL PASO, Texas — Two men with Army ties — including an active-duty sergeant — sought to work with a Mexican drug cartel in a murder-for-hire scheme in which they would kill rival gang members and recover stolen cocaine for $50,000 and drugs, according to a federal criminal complaint.
Sgt. Samuel Walker, 28, and former Lt. Kevin Corley, 29, believed they were meeting with members of the Zetas drug cartel last weekend in Texas, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
I guess one and a half?

Don't LMAO too soon. I seriously doubt that Holder's people will be prosecuted. And if they are they will claim “Racial profiling” and a scared shi*less judges will let them walk. The white & Latino guys are fooked though.

Colorado was Californicated about 20 years ago. Now it is a blue state, getting deeper blue by the year. It is just going to get worse as the Democrats acquire more and more power.
