United States Continues Deporting Veterans

unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ (Righthaven LLC?) has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, I’ve decided to give ya’ll an unhappycamper summary of the article and a link to the OP. To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.

To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

Read all about Fair Use here. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article: I guess it's easier to deport people who have run afoul of the law.

But - and that's a king-sized but - this man served this country. He lived up to his end of the bargain.

Immigrant vets face deportation despite service

If they die while serving, they are given citizenship and a military funeral. If they live and get in trouble with the law, as Coombs did, they can get caught in the net of a 1996 immigration law that greatly expanded the list of crimes for which non-citizens can be deported.

1. This has happened in Texas more than I care to admit.

we support these troops-especially because they keep our kids from serving...then kick them to the curb when they have done their time.
Selfish,fucking warhawks.That is all.
