Now he has made a decision that likely will put him back in a war zone: He enlisted in the U.S. Army.

Yeah - but now he is a member of the biggest and meanest gang on the block...

This man not born here has more honor and integrity than most of the public.

"I became an American citizen and I think it's my duty to defend America,'

I wish that more of our home grown kids had the same attitude! God bless him.

My fiancee is a full time student and there are a number of ‘lost boys’ in her school, mostly studying hard science and medicine.

She has immense respect for all she’s met - saying the ones she’s met in the US (as well as in South Africa where she went last year) are honorable, hard working, and sharp as a tack.

I’m usually not a huge fan of resettling refugees in the US, but the group appears to really buck the trend, from what I’ve seen.

More MSM propaganda as they try to muddy the waters between legal and illegal immigration. A feel good story about a legal immigrant is just another way to say let’s have amnesty for all those hard working illegal aliens.

After what he went through, Fort Lost-in-the-Woods in the State of Misery will be a cakewalk. Wonder what his MOS will be? If it's 12-bravo, he'll learn the new meaning to "sleep deprivation". If it's one of the non-combat MOS's at FLW, then it'll be a little better.

If he graduated college, surely he'd be officer material.

Amen

This is the kind of immigrant American’s can be proud of. Even had he not joined the Army, his head is in the right place and so is his heart.

God bless him and protect him.

"I became an American citizen and I think it's my duty to defend America,'' said Majok, 25, one of the young Sudanese men referred to as the "Lost Boys''...

This kid has more guts and honor than a lot of native born Americans. He is a true American in the fullest sense of the meaning.

Take note Liberals!!

it's nice to see somebody that comes in and wants to give back,'' Palumb said of Majok. "Our United States will be a much better place if we had a lot of Jacob Majoks here.''

Amen.

I wonder if he likes to be referred to as an “African American”? I’m betting NOT

I have a friend who lives in Kenya, he’s married into one of the tribes there, the tall skinny ones that do the bouncing thing in red sarongs, he routinely sponsors these kids for immigration into Canada...

“This is my kind of immigrant!”

In the “moment of clarity” soon after 9-11, NBC had a follow-up on some
Lost Boys they’d profiled before 9-11.

One of them had been settled in the Kansas City area and his mentor was
a local banker.

The banker said that when 9-11 happened, he talked about it with his
young charge. The banker tried to puzzle out “why the terrorists
hated us”, but his Lost Boy bascially told him that this was just the
way Muslims are.
(I guess a lot of the suffering of The Lost Boys was from Muslim raider
that they tangled with doing their long odyssey)
