"I believe they will all obey their oaths to the United States."

Unlike Senator Durbin who violated his oath...

"Who is that American Senator who's quoted in Al Jazeera, and why doe he hate the United States so much?"

"What are the odds that this story will lead the ABCCBSNBC news broadcasts tonight?"

There is about zero chance of this being reported on any of those networks. Which is fine with me, because I don't watch any of them. And I would recommend to others that they don't watch them, either.

Absolutely. There's more class, honor and genuine goodness in one of these soldier's little fingernail than in the entire demonicRAT party.

Of the 3,499 other folks sworn in with me on Friday, only 20 were singled out -- all currently serving in various branches of the military. They were from everywhere: Poland, Mexico, El Salvador, Korea .

They got a standing ovation (which I may or may not have had a hand in provoking). It was pretty neat.

I am very happy for these guys... but also a little alarmed by this statement

"There are 45,000 non-US citizens currently serving in the US military"

doesn't that seem like alot of foreigners in our milatary?

be pretty scary if most of them were muslims, planning a milatary coup da ta...

Please call your Representative in Congress to make certain and make him or her aware.
Don't leave it to chance - you know Congress can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
