For a Nam vet you made a stupid comment and now you're po'd. Do me a favor and don't call BS on me and then tell me what I'm thinking.
Think before you post.
Congress hasn't had the balls to declare war since WWII.
No Disrespect to you and others that served. If the politicians had left the job of breaking things and killing bad guys to the people who knew how to do it we would be telling a different story now wouldn't we. That goes for Korea too. Thank you for your service.... That is not said nearly enough by me and all the other Americans.
How long was he in the Army before deserting? What did he do to get busted down to Pvt (E-1)? Might there be another reason he deserted?
For me it's boiled down to a pretty simple truth over the years - - It was LBJ's war. He and McNamara broke it and it took Dick Nixon to get us out. Thanks for you comments, though.
This guy wants to turn himself in, great. Our Canadian FRiends don't need our cowards there.
I agree with part of your thoughts. Dick Nixon was saddled with a no win situation what he did created the killing fields and disrespected all soldiers who fought and sacrificed. The American public and congress made his only path out bad. People like JKF'inK and his buddies will never admit to.
Don't you think he would very welcomed by J.Skerry and jack murtha instead???
To me, he looks a little like the Iranian "Nut"!??!
You're right, we don't need any more leftie dregs up here.
Canada ping.
Please send me a FReepmail to get on or off this Canada ping list.
WOW!
Was he drafted???
His mother should go to jail as well!!!
I think that we HAD a draft dodger in the White House for eight (8!!!) years specializing in getting blow jobs in the Oval Office!!!
It fit my definition of a war. They shot at us. We shot at them. We wore uniforms. So did some of them.
Fiberous fecal matter.
Unless I'm much mistaken,there was a time when marrying a citizen of most western countries (the US included) automatically made you a citizen of that country.However,over time,these countries came to realize that "undesirables" (my word) used this law to gain access to that western country for God-knows-what purpose.
Now,in the US at least,marrying a US citizen gives you the right to petition the INS for permission to reside here.The INS then (supposedly) investigates you *and* your marriage and if you're found to be "clean" (nothing shady in your background,etc) and if your marriage is found to be "genuine" (that is,not one that was entered into simply so that you could live here) then that request will be granted.
Then you'll be on track for a Green Card and eventual citizenship.
In practice, if you marry a citizen, you get to live here.
That's not always true.Maybe you could re-read my post or,better still,search the INS website or do a google search on "fraudulent marriages".
Of course not, that's why I said, "In practice, if you marry a citizen, you get to live here.
Wait until next week and he'll change his mind again...or run for the Senate for Massachusetts. Waffling is a prerequisite there for congressional office, so I'm told.
