    I’m not a big fan of blind patriotism. Service members sign up to serve our country, and not all of our country’s military endeavors are very honorable….

    I don’t think a service man or woman deserves any more respect than a janitor, or a tomato picker. We need to respect all workers, especially if they are law abiding and just trying to help their families.

    Without comprehensive immigration reform, we are shooting ourselves in the foot to spite our ability to walk by randomly deporting these crucial members of our society.

    Serving in the military and getting a Purple Heart means this person went above and beyond.

    Regardless, why are we letting foreign nationals serve in the military with no path to citizenship… it’s pretty dumb. The federal government needs to uphold its end of the deal.

    Deporting service members is stupid, even if they are dishonorably discharged.

    What the actual fuck?

    This particular situation is even more fucked up and ironic than it seems,

    He was injured in the Noriega War in which the CIA put a cocaine drug trafficking dictator into power and then later decided to fight against him.

    This poor soldier got injured in a war and then later got PTSD, and became addicted to the same drugs the CIA was importing into the country. I’ll say it again, what the actual fuck?
