Military Service equals two years of college? Really?

There are actions that cannot be compared. Like US citizenship given for military service or for two years of college.

Democrats led by the majority leader Harry Reid are trying to make us believe that those two are equal. One is ready to serve and die for American citizenship; the other one is willing to suffer through a spring break?

Somehow Harry Reid believes that this bill will help him with the Latino vote. Really?

If you are picking tomatoes in California or spreading beds in Nevada hotels you can join the army. If you have money, coughs it up to our friends in AcademiaLand.

If you are building casas and can’t afford UCLA go to war, if you are former Saudi rich man who hates America send your suicide bombers to US college. We take cash!

Did the US college education become so unattractive that we have to throw in a citizenship so people would come to study in America? This is ridiculous.

Thousands of men and women from all over the world join the US military and serve honorably to receive US citizenship and live the American dream or die.

It is disgrace to stuff the loopholes for citizenship through college for the wealthy and connected in the same bill.

Congress should know better than that.

I does, but pandering for votes is more important.

With all the CRAP the commies toss around at college I say military service is the ANTI-College....as in REAL WORLD education not some fantasy bull crap thrown around by some Marxist dumbass....most college educated people can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag...I am totaly unimpressed with “higher” education credentials.

In the Air Force, you can use your training towards an associates degree. It sounds like Dingy Harry wants to automatically award degrees.
