But he is without honor for serving for twenty five years without becoming a citizen???
I just stopped into this thread to see if anyone had posted pictures of him yet, and I found you arguing with any one that came along, so I can to his defence.
lol... your noble "defence" has been duly noted. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Along with the bad reports about illegal aliens, it is important to recognize contributions like this.
I support him being given citizenship. His words reveal very clearly why.
the only picture I could find.
What are you BiPolar?
I served in the Marines for eleven years.
Just because I didn't make a remark about you sayin you were a DD2765 "DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE/UNIFORMED SERVICES IDENTIFICATION AND PRIVILEGE CARD" that means I don't know anything about being in the Military.
I figured I give you a break since you were backing off and ignored it.
Okey Dokey!
Dishonor/ Disgrace....one and the same, try looking it up.
You have no idea of how US citizenship/naturalization works in regards to foreign born US Military personnel, much less the point I have expoused. This article is a political fluff job. Thank you for the insults, and may you have many happy returns.
The point you have "expoused" has been vague in the extreme. I don't blame others for questioning your "point"
Perhaps if you tried to educate others with your knowledge of how US citizenship/naturalization works in regards to foreign born US Military personnel, you would be better understood.
Your shared angst is of no concern to anyone useful. Thanks!
It is obvious you seek to contrive unfounded arguments,
The article states the Marine had previously sought citizenship, but each and every time he submitted the paperwork, the process was interrupted, not by the Marine, but by the Marine's obedience to orders when he was transferred to another duty station in 3 year increments. In some cases, the three year cycle was further interrupted by his obedience to deploy to war, and in this case a resultant injury placing him in a major hospital facility.
After 25 years of service and being promoted to the highest enlisted rank available to him, it is slander to imply he has anything less than honor in his service, because he asked to become a citizen, once again.
This highlights a difference between him and yourself. He probably will continue to be faithful to his nation, but indubitably you will probably continue to imply this to be suspect and dishonorable.
Yep, this Marine had no available means to Naturalize in 25 yrs., due to active duty constraints. I am truly amazed by the depth of outright stupidity on this thread.
The article didn't imply he had no available means to naturalize in 25 yrs. It did imply his natualization process had been interrupted and restarted repeatedly.
Since you appear to be the only one on the thread with the particular knowledge of the system that proves this implication is false and have a penchant for form numbers, perhaps you could share the explicit details and form numbers used to expedite the process within the the INS and Dept of Justice.
After a number of years of honorable service you should not have to ask, it should be granted
It is obvious you seek to contrive unfounded arguments.
Well said Sir, some people, if they had a brain, it would be lonely.
