This post is from Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA). Oh how true it is. Need we say more about this trader. IMPEACH
In past months, President Obama has found enough time to respond to the proposed deportation of Justin Bieber, talk up the White House beer recipe and offer insights into a wide variety of topics that are comparatively insignificant. His own online petition page collected more than the 120,000 signatures, thereby requiring a response from the White House. But Obama has yet to utter a single word on behalf of Tahmooressi.
As a combat Marine, Andrew saved lives on at least two occasions and survived a roadside bomb blast that destroyed his vehicle and injured himself and others. His promotion to Sergeant came meritoriously and either on the battlefield or off, his commitment to his fellow Marines was unbreakable. In every sense, Andrew was a top-notch.
The alleged crime by no means presents any real shock value: Andrew entered Mexico with three legally owned firearms. He did not conceal the weapons or attempt to mislead Mexican border officials, who happened to deny his initial request to turn around. They confiscated his firearms and the rest of his possessions. That night and into the next day, he endured a period of detention that exceeded the permissible limits, and he was denied the appropriate translation services.
The accusation was that Andrew was trafficking weapons but the facts support a far different version of events. The night he was arrested, Andrew was visiting friends near the border area. He was relatively new to San Diego, California, seeking treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder at the recommendation and instance of friends who lived in the region, which is home to some of the best treatment and care facilities in the country. For area residents, some of whom have lived in San Diego their entire lives, the border is a complicated place, day or night, and wrong turns are quite common.
Hunter concludes:
A Marine of Andrews caliber deserves more from his government. By now, the President and his Administration probably wont make a difference in Andrews case but out of respect to our veterans and our military, the President should try to make an effort at least. Andrew is owed that much from the Commander in Chief he courageously served as U.S. Marine.
Obama would rather trade taliban officers for a deserter. First rule of being taken captive. Name rank serial number other than tjat it is your duty to try to escape. Bergdahl didnt try to escape. Obama doesnt care about our real troops. Chris kyle comes to mind. We lower flags at half mast for a fn cokehead whitney houston but not for a two star Army general killed by an inside attack.
REAGAN WOULD HAVE HAD THE TROOPS AT
SAN YSIDRO AND TELLING DOOFUS IN
MEXICO CITY, " HAND HIM OVER OR WE WILL
COME AND GET HIM."
