They look schizo the way a double agent can appear schizo.

I.e. when people allow things to happen that you would not expect them to allow, their motives may not be what you think they are.
We have a uniparty. When one understands that, the antics of the GOPe make total sense. Occam’s razor and all that.
The Dutch also had their Royal Netherlands East Indies Army ( AKA KNIL ).
The KNIL recruited Dutch volunteers and foreign mercenaries of several nationalities.
The foreign troops consisted of Flemish, German, Swiss, and French volunteers.
However, Walloons, Arabs, and nationals of both the United Kingdom and United States were forbidden from serving.
Other foreigners who could not prove fluency in either Dutch or German were also not accepted for service.
Spain had her Spanish Legion.
The unit, which was founded as the Spanish equivalent of the French Foreign Legion, was known as the Tercio de Extranjeros (”Foreigners Regiment”).
However in practice it recruited almost exclusively Spaniards and Spanish expatriates from Spanish-speaking nations.
Israel had a unit called the Mahal, where both Jewish and non-Jewish volunteers were allowed to migrate to Israel to fight in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War including Aliyah Bet.
About 4,000 volunteers from all over the world came to fight on the Israeli side.
Mahal made up a small fraction of the Israeli forces, except for the Air Force, where they were dominant.
Mahal was disbanded after the war, and most volunteers left Israel. Some, however, made their immigration permanent and became Israeli citizens.
I have no confidence in the GOP. They’re frauds and traitors.
You go, Mo: that’s my Congress-critter.
Now if I can just get him to double-down and get a rollback of these out-of-control worker visas... then we’ll be starting to get somewhere.
This is just leftist agitprop to try to herd us in the direction they want us to go.
While on the surface it might seem like a reasonable quid pro quo, why would we want a professional military populated by people with a grudge against us, loyal to another nation?
Somehow I just don’t think it makes a lotta sense to give an M-249 to a hard faced guy looking to get even with Los Gringos.
” why would we want a professional military populated by people with a grudge against us, loyal to another nation?”
Plus, do you want to be in a foxhole with some fool who speaks no English ?
Famous Walloon Peter Minuit, bought Manhattan for 24 dollars.
"I don't want to get my head shot off in some far away land because you don't habla, comprende?"
We already have females taking male slots in the military, and now we want criminal illegal foreigners taking even more of those slots?
The US government had a policy in place, by which a LEGAL immigrant, with intent to become a citizen, could serve in the US military for a period of five years, and this would qualify as “residency” for purposes of naturalization, even though the applicant served outside US boundaries for the most of the duration. Extending this opportunity to various non-legal or extra-legal residents was not considered until very recently in this nation’s history.
Of course, that territory on the North American continent once known as “the United States of America” is no longer held to this standard.
Obozo’s development of his personal SA continues.
Paging Ernst Rohm...paging Ernst Rohm. Call your office!
Think Germany, 1932!
We’re getting close, people! Very, very close!!
And here’s some advice for those who are aiding obozo in his grab for total power. Search for ERNST ROHM. It was he who organized and ran the Brown Shirts that brought Hitler to power. But when his usefulness to Hitler ended, so did Rohm’s life in a prison cell with a bullet to the brain BECAUSE, IN ADDITION TO BECOMING TOO OBVIOUSLY BRUTAL AT THAT EARLY STAGE OF HIS RISE, HITLER VIEWED HIM AS A POTENTIAL RIVAL!
YOU MORONS WHO THINK YOU’LL BE THE PRINCES IN THE NEW ORDER ARE ENGAGED IN A PERVERSE FORM OF MENTAL MASTURBATION AND MIGHT WANT TO RETHINK THAT!
I am about halfway through the amazing new Bernard Cornwall non-fiction book, “WATERLOO; The History of Four Days, Three Armies and Three Battles.” Prior to readig it I had not known that the British Army fielded unit of expatriate German personnel, The King’s German Legion (KGL). They fought with distinction during the Peninsular Campaign and distinguished themselves at Waterloo with a herioc stand at the farmhouse at La Haye Sainte. So foreign legion can work, at least when they are German.
Yeah....
They wouldn’t be American soldiers, they would be soldiers of fortune.
Uh, that didn't work out so well for the Hessian mercenaries working for an earlier King of England...
