Hmmmmm.... Is that why's he's spouting slogans in spanish???? .... raybbr
WTF does that have to do with anything, raybbr?
Go pick up a copy of "We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young: Ia Drang - The Battle that Changed the War in Vietnam" and turn to pages 104 through 108.
There, you will find the description of my uncle, the severely wounded Lieutenant, right after he, his Captain and a handful of men from Delta Company had plugged the gap in the American line and stopped the North Vietnamese flanking attack from cutting the American position in two:
" The handful of Delta Company troopers had unknowingly joined the Alpha Company fight at a crucial moment. About thirty North Vietnamese were flanking (X's) men on their left and (the Delta Company troopers) ran smack into them and killed most of them .... (The Captain) and (the Lieutenant) were carried into the battalion aid station at the termite hill on poncho litters. They were shockingly wounded, a terrible sight to see .... Sergeant (X), an Alpha squad leader, talked to him in Spanish ... (the Lieutenant) was holding a picture of his wife and children in his bloody hand. He was ranting in Spanish." .... Chapter 8, We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young
When he came back home, after months in the hospital, he had a huge scar down the inside of his thigh where AK-47 rounds had hit him. After his recovery, he was later back in Vietnam on his second combat tour, this time as a Green Beret, and left, again wounded, with his second Purple Heart and his second Bronze Star with a V.
His blood was just as "American" your blood will ever be, raybbr, even though, whenever he spilled it for America, he would rant in Spanish.
Right now, there are thousands of other legal immigrants and naturalized citizens in the U.S. Armed Forces and, when they spill their blood for America in Afghanistan or Iraq, they probably cuss in Spanish too.
Their blood, raybbr, is just as "American" as yours will ever be.
America has always had Americans who also spoke other languages. If you want further reading, read the first chapter of the auto-biography of Eddie Rickenbacker, America's top ace in World War One. When he was growing up, Rickenbacker did not speak English all that well. His family spoke German at home. Yet, raybbr, Eddie Rickenbacker was just as "American" as you will ever be.
