This just in:

Orders for the redeployment of the 155th to Iraq in 2009 are under reevaluation. Inside sources now say it won't be Iraq. It will be either Afghanistan or Georgia.

[bpitt]

Georgia? Holy crap! I hope this doesn't indicate what I think it may.

[CRawls]

My brother is scheduled to go, but he will not say anything.

[SoMissTV]

I heard that Macon was a war zone...

We may be needin' them around here . . .

Let's send all these illegal immigrants instead!

I like that idea. If you're willing to serve a tour (or two) to defend this country), you could be made a citizen at the end of the tour.

I like that idea too. If you are an illegal, and get caught, instead of deportation, we load you up, and take your butt to boot camp!

Sounds what Lincoln did to the Irish.

[SoMissTV]

Well, I was thinking voluntary, not compulsory.

[optimistik1]

I was thinking compulsory...if you're illegal, you're illegal!

We cannot single handedly reshape everything in the world to be what Washington thinks it should be.
On the other hand I would not just stand by and watch a dog fight a bear on it's own.

Folks, prolly a quarter of the USMC jarheads are foreigners fighting in exchange for citizenship. This has been SOP for a long time.
