Something most civilians can't understand is the relationship between brothers in arms and that relationship in a combat environment.
Bruce, I can only imagine what you guys go through. No, the vast majority of us DON'T know.

The have every right to ASK for legal status and for the opportunity to earn citizenship, but they have NO RIGHT to DEMAND anything outside of basic human rights. Our young men did not and are not dying for someone to bully his way into our country so he can demand citizenship. Now I hear our National Anthem in Spanish on the radio. This just isn't right.
I think my father said it best "You're God Damned right". Every day, EVERY F ING DAY I read and hear more and more about people from countries (that shall go un-named) saying we aren't recognizing their rights. There are many people who emigrate to North America from the land of their birth, and they are value added and make sure they fit in to society. As far as I'm concerned, the rest can fuck off.

Take care of you and your's over there Bro. Stay well, and come home soon.

NOTE:

Another board I used to frequent had a smiley saluting and holding an American flag. No, I'm not American, but imagine it inserted here.
