You know what?

I know a young man 33 years old, who has ALREADY served 4 years in the US Army..... back duing GULF WAR I and after. He came home went to college, got a degree ( with honors), worked in IT, was forced to train his foreign( INDIAN and PAKI) replacements, he got laid-off, the Pakis and Indians keep right on working at his former place of employment at his former job and he cannot... after almost a year find another IT job anyplace in the USA.

Just too much completion from H1B/L1 WORKERS.

Well, our patriotic American needs a job, a real job not the little $7-9 per hour jobs he has had of late. HE HAS A COLLEGE LOAN TO REPAY!!!

So, the our Patriot, is going back into the Army.

Let me tell you something, bud.... I do not think a guy should have to do two terms in the US Army, so that some slimely foreigners can have his job!

Allies my A__!! Hey, man... I did NOT see ONE SINGLE INDIAN TROOP helping our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines in the recent IRAQ affair.

Who the heck needs allies like that?

They are not allies they are PARASITES!! Just like the FRENCH!

Re your #48 this is the sort of thing that has angered me to no end. And the Freepers who support this kind of thing are not conservatives they are merely greedy liberals who want the destruiction of the USA for their profit.

You're so right, not one Indian helping our troops. They are just helping themselves to American jobs, even replacing our own Veterans.

NEW DELHI July 14. India today formally decided not to send its troops to Iraq under the American and British command. As expected, the Cabinet Committee on Security considered the issue and politely declined the request of the United States.

No disagreement with everything you've said, and I've been laid off too - my Christmas present from the company I worked for, just 2 months after I'd gotten married, was a pink slip. I was months looking for a new gig.

The point I was trying to make in my last paragraph: what is needed is a sensible immigration policy. If foreigners begin to displace those of us already here, then that's a red flag and visas for people in those fields should be severely curtailed.

My other point: the Cold War got us the wrong partner in the subcontinent - we should be seeking closer ties to India. It'll take time; there is a half-century of anti-American tilt to overcome, thanks to our supporting the Paks. But when China really starts flexing her muscles, later this century, it'd be helpful to have as an ally the only country with more people.
