No Marine left behind: Leatherneck brass vows to press Tahmooressi's case
Fox News ^ | June 18, 2014 | Joseph J. Kolb

Andrew Tahmooressi, the Marine sergeant who has been imprisoned in Mexico since March 31 since accidentally crossing the border outside of San Diego with three weapons in his vehicle, has not been forgotten by his fellow leathernecks.

Tahmooressi's most tireless champion in Washington has been Rep. Duncan Hunter, (R-Calif.), himself former Marine major and veteran of three combat tours. And Hunter has drawn in the top brass of the elite fighting force with a plea for help lighting a fire under the relevant powers in the Capitol.

While Obama was in the bath house playing SWITCH with Rahm Emanuel, Marine General Chesty Puller would have
just rounded up a few slop-chutes full of Marines and headed on down to Beaner-Ville and sprung Tahmooressi himself.

BTW Resident Obama, The “Corps” in Marine Corps is pronounced “CORE”, not CORPSE.

Of couse, that is an idiosyncrasy of our language that most other illegals and foreigners don’t get either.

Sounds like a great reason to have an urban rescue mission.

USMC should just go get him and be done with it.

Make a few omelets!

I think that all of those Democrats and RINOs pushing for immigration reform ought to go back to the drawing board and use the same approach to illegals being used by Mexico.

Why are we giving tens of millions of illegal immigrants a free pass while ignoring how U. S. citizens are treated in a foreign country? What is wrong with this Administration and RINOs?

Why are we not treating illegals the same way Mexico treats their illegals? Why are we spending hundreds of millions of dollars providing for illegal immigrants while their countries of origin spit on us?

That would be awesome if a group of Marines went in and rescued him. Perhaps a group of Americans could round up some illegals and blackmail the Mexican gov't to release Tahmooressi in exhange. Or perhaps the Mex gov't doesn't give a chit about a few illegals, eh..

or:

BOYCOTT PRODUCTS OF MEXICO!

A president with nuggets would have had enough insults by now. He would order the Marine RETRIEVED at gunpoint. T.S. to anyone who gets in the way. Right, Obama? Right? Obama?....

That Mexican prison is about 50 miles away from U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Low altitude fly over by some FA-18’s would be nice way to boost the sergeant’s morale.

Ok here is a doable idea I have been thinking of for this.
Let's organize a travel boycott of Mexico. Tourism is a huge revenue source to Mexico; much of that money comes from the US.
If enough people called up resorts and started cancelling vacations; that could help get this Marine home.

The Navy had “dungaree liberty” in Olongapo, PI back in the 1960s when things got out of hand.

Occasionally, a “tune-up” is necessary for societies as well as cars & trucks!

USMC should just go get him and be done with it.

After that they should go to the White House and get the so called CIC and throw his ass in prison for dereliction of duty.

I like it!

“Urban rescue mission” has a nice ring to it.

Mexico is so racist. This Marine was just trying to take care of his family when he made a wrong turn. He’s a DREAMER!

Other than beer and tequila what products do they still have? Everything comes from China.

Send a Marine Expeditionary Brigade down there to get him. If the mexicans don’t like it, tough sh*t!

I had read that a group of bikers were headed there to help in his release. What happened with that?
