Something most civilians can't understand is the relationship between brothers in arms and that relationship in a combat environment. A BOTL on CP (stationed in Iraq) lost a comrade a few days ago and shared his experience over a Ghurka Ancient Warrior.
I was about to express my gratitude to him for serving and for his comrade's sacrifice for us all, when I recalled the rallies for illegal immegrants scheduled for this Monday. 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.
Its time.
