I was watching CSpan Monday morning before going to our Memorial Day service. It is a service - solemn, speakers, honoring the dead and POW and MIA, bugles, bagpipes, and speakers with pride of country messages. The topic was adjusting to civilian life after the military on CSpan, and one guy started dishing the illegal aliens and preferential treatment they get in employment and skirting the law. Pedro (commentator) on CSpan says, what about those illegals who join the military for citizenship?
1. Not true for illegals anyway, and very small percentage of legal aliens in the military, overwhelming majority American citizens;
2. Can Pedro's agenda be any more evident?
When I listened to the speeches, watching veterans stand proudly when their branch was introduced, and this general speaking about how they defended the freedom of people world wide.
I want you all to understand that I, too, am a veteran of the Army Nurse Corps (hooha to you all). But what I don't understand is why and how all these proud veterans sit idly by while foreign nationals march in our streets demanding all kinds of benefits they are not entitled to while flying foreign rags as though it is all okay. Where are they and why are they not willing to wage a battle for the hearts and help of our citizens on their homefront?
