You make no sense. First you bash Obama claiming he "doesn't have the stones" to go into Mexico and rescue this Marine; then you change your mind and claim Obama has nothing to do with the subject matter in this thread after all; and then you bring up Mark Owen as if he has any relevance whatsoever to this discussion. Are all Marines as dense as you are, or are you a "special" case?
I wonder what would happen if it were a black, muslim American soldier?
He'd be sitting in jail for being an idiot and trying to bring a gun into Mexico, just like the idiot who DID try to bring a gun into Mexico is doing right now.

Obama won't go in to get him...this is fact.
He has nothing to do with WHY all of us who served want him back.
I think it's the other way around. The left hasn't got a clue on what being a "soldier" is or means. They're too busy "pulling the race card". What does Obama have to do with one of our brothers down in a rat hole South of the border? Nada.....
I am astounded at your ignorance. The left attracted many genuine war heroes. Most of the Chickenhawks have been right wing armchair warriors.
Chit, I've been living in AZ for the past 32 years and check my vehicle to make sure I don't have a live 22 round laying on the floorboard before I go into Mexico. And yes, I was in the Marine Corps a long time ago.......but I don't expect my government to rescue me for being stupid.
People here as elsewhere will hide behind he flag and patriotism while attacking our President and nation.
I've never met a true, decorated combat veteran who play the games I see self-described heroes doing here
My observation also.
How did this morph into the "left" as in Democrats are not now and have never been soldiers. None of them have served their country with distinction?
This misguided irresponsible EX Marine has somehow become the poster boy for everything the right and Repubs hold near and dearest. Strange that ,as from what I read of this kid; he's made a couple of bad choices and now he's sitting in a foreign jail through no fault of anyone but himself.
Those of us challenging the postion offered that he should receive intercession on his behalf from no one less than the President himself are being labelled as everything from disloyal to not knowing a thing about being a soldier. Cripes!
Phrases like "No one left behind" being bandied around by supposed ex-marines or ex-army just make me want to reply with "well how come you're still on here threee days later spouting nonsense and haven't saddled your azzes up to get down there and rescue the kid?" What were you guys while in harness; motor-pool mechanics perhaps?
All this bellicose posturing does nothing but confirm the old adage "talk is cheap."
The real deal would not waste their time in a pissing contest on an internet forum over a topic such as this.

The REAL deal would keep this thread going for ten years fighting off all your smug remarks.....

Wow, from your gibberish response to me to the repeated posting of pictures of your "big knives" (overcompensating, are we? ) to this nonsensical response has convinced me that you definitely ARE "special." I apologize for taking you to task. I don't normally argue with the mentally challenged.
