October 7, 2003 -- It's been no honeymoon for two Florida National Guardsmen who met and married Iraqi women while serving in Baghdad. The love-struck soldiers - Sgt. Sean Blackwell, 27, of Pace, Fla., and Cpl. Brett Dagen, 37, of Walnut Hill, Fla. - have been in hot water since mid-August, when they defied their commander's orders and marched down the aisle with their Iraqi sweethearts.

both GIs converted to Islam

...and thus became enemies of human civilization in general and the United States of America in particular. Kick the untrustworthy rats out of the army before they frag some good soldiers.

The story is about Love which is beyond the borders.

Love is great. Disobedience and joining an anti-American, bloodthirsty, misogynistic, satanic death-cult is not.

Some defend iSLAM because they are nothing more than quavering cowards.
Some defend iSLAM because they think it makes them sound superior.
Some defend iSLAM because they think their moral relativism will protect them.
Some defend iSLAM because they think appeasement will protect them.
Some defend iSLAM because they are ignorant of iSLAM’s consistent bloody swath through human history.
Some defend iSLAM because they bought the lies of hired American PR firms.
Some defend iSLAM because they are greased with Saudi oil money.
Some defend iSLAM because they like its fight against Christianity.
Some defend iSLAM because they like its fight against the Jews.
Some defend iSLAM because they like its fight against that other guy’s religion.
Some defend iSLAM because they are sleeper elements of a fifth column in our country.
Some defend iSLAM because it is their faith and they will be murdered by their ‘brothers’ if they leave.
Some defend iSLAM because they are misogynists and the cult gives them what they want.
Some defend iSLAM because they are as primitive as it is.
Some defend iSLAM because they like its fight against America (because their turd-world nations are so far beneath America).
Some defend iSLAM because it’s the popular thing to do.
I swear, some of them would defend the Aztec cannibals or the Thuggee cult if those religions of peace were alive today!

At any rate, iSLAM intends to be the death of America and freedom and every other religion on the planet.

None survive when freedom fails;
Good men rot in filthy jails,
While those who cried “Appease! Appease!”
Are hanged by those they tried to please.

Human civilization had better wake up soon and get as serious about its survival as the seventh-century savages of Islam are about our annihilation!
SLEEPING AMERICANS ARE EASIER TO KILL.
Do not be lulled to sleep by the Religion of Peace defenders.

Click here and never forget the face of Islam and what it wants for you infidels.

Their brides and a few relatives, led by an intermediary, met them along their patrol route,

If they were met along the patrol route it seems that: 1) They use the same route - which doesn't even make bad sense or 2) They endangered the other members of the patrol by giving their route out - not the brightess move.

Why did you tell me that? You can find good and bad people every where.
Can you go there and stop them?

If the Army wanted these GI's to have women, they would have issued them women.

In those little olive drab packets.

Woman,
Slender,
Pretty,
One.

And could she be easily identified BY THE FREAKING PICTURE OF HER THEY PRINTED?

GI's have married locals from every country we've ever been stationed in. Love always finds a way.

Joe is a character. Where there's a will there's a way. I had a buddy in my platoon who took off to Bulgaria on two week's leave from Macedonia while we were there. Came back with a bride. Very pretty too. Man was on a mission.

First of all, why would Iraqi doctors marry two grunts in the US Army? Aren't all the professionals in Iraq members of Saddam's Ba'athist party? We DO NOT need these women in the USA! If these new converts to Islam are so in love, strip them of their US citizenship and let them stay in Iraq with their wives and live happily ever after. It's really sad to see that men this age could be this stupid. You might expect this from the 19 yr olds over there.

Yes, there it is in the first chapter of the Book "It is not good for man to be alone." And he won't be.

As I said love always finds a way and people always gripe about. Things will work out just give them time.

Can you point to some law or part of the Constitution that would lend support to your suggestion?

My wife's a doctor. I was a grunt in the US Army when she married me. That's a pretty elitest comment if you don't mind me saying.

You can´t strip them of their citizenship that is against the law.
