A Marine, wounded in combat, suffering from PTS (I won’t call it a disorder), sits in a Mexican prison. It has been nearly 60 days.
Our President has been silent. Our Secretary of State has been feeble asking pretty please. Our Secretary of Defense has said nothing. Meanwhile they spend nearly 758 million dollar a year in US foreign aid. They are our third largest trading partner, and the nearly sole benefit of NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement.
They hold our Soldier hostage. We pay them three quarters of a billion dollars.
The allow their drug cartels to control a large segment of the border, crossing into the US to kill Border Agents wearing uniforms of the Mexican Army or Federal Police, and we pay the three quarters of a billion dollars.
The three ass clowns mention earlier, B.Hussein, Hagel, and Kerry should be speaking with one clear voice. They should be telling the Mexican government in no uncertain terms to release our Soldier or we will not send another dime to your government. The Mexican president does not have pardoning power. Their Secretary of State does.
Send him home or we turn off the spigots. All of them. No more foreign aid. No more “workers” will gain entrance to our country. We will pay our militia to stop by whatever means needed the illegal aliens that come to our country to work or to siphon from our welfare system. $50 a head will generate a lot of enthusiasm, I bet. No questions asked.
$758 million dollars will buy the Marines about 6 Osprey aircraft. The Navy could buy 8 more F/S18 Super Hornets. If the F35 Lightning II ever stops being a vacu-suck of money, we could buy six of those. That is just in one year. Oh, and we’re not turning the money back on any time soon either. You crossed that bridge and set it aflame. We’re happy to keep pissing on the ashes.
We will shoot on site anyone dressed in your official uniforms of any agency that are seen on our side of the border. Our leadership should be speaking in one clear voice. Instead, their silence only encourages more of the same. If we won’t stop Mexico does the preacher in Iran have even a prayer?
Our and while the feckless civil rights groups gnash their teeth and polish their legal writs, our special operations forces will travel to the maximum security prison and test its adjective. Is it really maximum security? Don’t want to hand over our boy? We’ll go get him. I’m willing to bet that his family would feel better knowing he died trying to get home than to rot in fucking Mexico.
This is what five years of apologetic hope and change has given us.
