Thanks for the graphic; it cleared up nothing. How’d that work out for him?

Why would anyone willingly enter Mexico (unless they are buying drugs, guns, or trafficking in humans)?

(I know, to get to Costa Rica)

A classic example of adding insult to injury.

Hopefully, he’ll go the way of Dan Rather, soon.

*rme* That is rolling my eye.

All you read was that Bill O'Reilly is the author of the article. Read the article next time and comment on it and not the author.

Also go see a shrink who can help you to get over your BOR derangement symptom. You need help. Serious

First of all, I believe Hammar was a Lance Corpral (E-3), not a Corporal.

I don't think Bill O'Reilly knew that, so don't criticize him for that

Then how about if we criticize him for being a self-important RAT who tries to so hard to convince us that he is neutral, that he usually looks like an idiot with zero credibility.

Mexico isn't the only place with BIG dangerous poisonous reptiles ~ growing up in Indiana I learned to identify 6 different species at a distance ~ 4 types of rattlesnakes, copperheads and the infamous water moccasin, and that's the REAL DEAL, not the fake moccasin wannabees that you find splashing around.

It only gets worse as you go South and get into warmer country, and finally you hit Mexico. Warmer climate, more game, sharper fangs ~ looking up some lists of poisonous snakes in Mexico and every genus has a representative there, and every species has one or more subspecies lurking around.

And lots of them I've heard!

The ineffectual State Department is a primary reason I am not allowing my kids to go overseas on class trips—these idiot teachers want to take them to places like China and Morocco (so they can go there on the parents’ dime) and I highly doubt if any kid got disappeared that we would get any help from State.

Why not? It took me less than two minutes to determine his rank and I'm not a "journalist."
Besides BOR not getting the facts straight, it also tells me that Hammar couldn't even make Cpl in four years.
That he wasn't NCO material and/or he got busted is as much a part of this story as is what he did between 2007 and this latest fiasco.

Don’t bother oh. Kaslin gets paid by Townhall to repost their “articles” - not evaluate whether they’re full of bovine excrement.

Good, Lord!

Here we have an outrageous story of corruption, incompetence, apathy, and injustice committed against an American veteran.

An American who was completely innocent, jailed in one of the worst Mexican prisons, allowed to wallow in said jail by our completely worthless and apathetic State Dept, and was eventually helped and released due to the efforts of the media, and one Bill O’Reiley in particular - who got him out of that hellhole back to his family, and all you can do is bash O’Reiley and this poor vet because some minor facts were not completely in place????

Yeah, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, too!

re: “. . . not evaluate whether they’re full of bovine excrement.”

Does that include yourself as well? Why don’t you give us the full story then? Truly, some of you guys “strain at a gnat” but completely miss the camel!

If one wants the full story, you’re NOT going to get it from RINO Townhall drek or Bill O’Reilly.

Mexico is such a safe and clean place, he shouldn't need to bring such an “assault rifle” with him in this peace loving place. Those gun crazed Americans- I mean, if something would have happened, he could have always called the Mexican police for help, right?

Give us all the REAL facts to this story since you say we can’t trust ANYTHING that Kaslin or O’Reilly says.

Oddly enough, I lay the fault of this at the feet of the Marine. There is a State Department travel warning, entitled “Guns are Illegal in Mexico” (and it mentions knives, too.):

http://tijuana.usconsulate.gov/tijuana/warning.html

It is *essential* for visitors to Mexico know that you do not *ever* bring a gun, gun parts, bullets or even shell casings or gun accessories, *or* knives, with you when you visit Mexico.

Ever. I don’t care if there is an “official process” and paperwork that will supposedly let you do so.

IT IS A LIE. You CANNOT EVER bring a gun, gun parts, bullets or even shell casings or gun accessories with you when you visit Mexico. Not EVER.

And this applies to anyone and everyone. (If not Obama and Holder, with their Fast & Furious gun exports.)

The Mexicans WILL arrest you and put you in prison. They will do so if you are a decorated Marine, or if you are an elderly grandmother, or one of your buddies left a shell casing in your car when you went hunting, or even a small child with a pocket knife. NO excuses.

They WILL arrest you.

This is why before you go to Mexico, you get every inch of your car vacuumed, even removing items that might *look* like gun parts, like loose metal tubes not part of the engine.

You check every inch of your luggage. And every inch of the luggage of friends and family coming with you.

“Don’t carry a knife, even a small pocketknife, on your person in Mexico.”

“Claiming not to know about the law will not get you leniency from a police officer or the judicial system. Leave your firearms, ammunition, and knives at home. Don’t bring them into Mexico.”

This is as clear as it gets. Like “Do not bring Bibles to Saudi Arabia.” The Saudis probably have an “official process” and paperwork, by which you could legally import Bibles. DON’T DO IT.

Your elevating BOR and former L/Cpl Hammar to near sainthood merely shows your arrogance and ignorance.
