Lawmakers visit Marine held in Mexico, say sergeant 'needs to come' (home)

There’s something about this entire story that doesn’t pass the smell test. I’m still not sure this guy wasn’t up to no good.

That being said, as an illegal in this country, you have to literally commit murder to end up in prison as this Marine has in Mexico.

The double standards are glaring and people in this country need to WAKE UP and realize that Mexico is not our friend. I’ll even take it a step further and state that no nation on Earth is doing more to harm this country then Mexico.

Not sure why it doesn’t pass your smell test, people accidentally cross the border regularly when they don’t intend to- even people that live near the border and do travel back and forth. At most of the Port’s of entry the traffic is funneled off of regular streets, highways- both local and interstate into the border crossing lanes. There is usually not a good place to turn around after a certain point is reached. This is great if you are trying to go to Mexico, but not if you don’t intend to and get on the wrong street near the border. There are signs, but most of the time they are confusing as to how to not go to the border, they are usually for those that are crossing. I know one of the crossings into Juarez from El Paso has trapped many people into crossing the border- not too long ago my hubby fell into that trap, thank the Lord we had no firearms or ammunition.

We hear all the time about people crossing the border when they don’t intend to, but if you have no firearms, ammunition or other restricted items it is not a big deal. If you do then it becomes a big deal because you will be jailed in Mexico.

If this Marine had been up to no good I am sure we would have heard about it by now. The Mexican authorities and our own liberals would have been more than happy to tell us.

Simple question.

If his PTSD is an issue in his getting out of jail, then which way does it go?

Does he get out of jail because he has PTSD, or does he not get out of jail if he has PTSD?

If it makes no difference, then it makes no difference

And if so, thee dis, who has no love for the military, and proves over and again, no true understanding, need to let the issue go

It does not benefit service related PTSD sufferers to have it be brought up

The public has an astonishing lack of empathy and understanding about it
