Here is the scenario: border crossing near Pine Valley, California. A white van with a U.S. Government plate is carrying 12 Marines when stopped by the Border Patrol. A plain clothes Border Patrolman becomes suspicious when he questions the driver, also wearing fatigues, and realizes that he does not speak English. He also notices that both the driver and the passenger next to him have the same name tag on their cammies: Lopez.
Suspicion now alerted, the Patrolman, who is also a former Marine, decided to ask the other "Marines" in the van when was the Marine Corps birthday, knowing very well that the date, 10 November 1775, is one of the most important historical dates for this elite branch of the Military.
And suspicions were correct, because it turned out that the men in the van were nothing more than illegal aliens and the driver a suspected smuggler, while the U.S. Government plates returned as stolen.
According to authorities, this appears to be the first case of illegal aliens being smuggled into the United States by impersonating US Military personnel. The question remains about how many more cases have occurred in the past right under the nose of the authorities.
Reaction has been diverse, some suggesting that the punishment should be for the men to endure a 4-year long period of Marine Corps Basic Training.
But what I am really waiting for is the White House and the Justice Dept. to come down hard against the Border Patrol agent for his blatant disrespect for the uniform of the Armed Forces and for the unfair subject of the questioning.
Attorney General Eric Holder is probably, as I write, preparing a law suit against the Border Patrol to force them to ask alleged illegal aliens fairer questions and to lower the standards for impersonating a Military member.
It would not surprise me if the men in the van will become police officers in Dayton, Ohio, and receive full Military benefits.
And the theme from the Twilight Zone keeps on playing in my head...
Well, mark one for the good guys. And yes, Military experience does count out there on the streets where real life happens.
Just my thoughts!

WHAT!! WHAT THE FUCK WRONG WITH YOU SIR
Anonymous, I am a little confused about your post. I denote a certain level of anger at my sarcasm and I am not sure if you got that or if you are incensed by my lack of trust in a corrupted totalitarian regime.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, considering the record that this administration has accumulated in the past two years, of total disregard for the rule of law and the will of the people they swore to serve, sarcasm is one of the few things that these criminals have not found a way to tax. Yet!
If you care to expand a little on what you meant, I will be happy to discuss the matter, provided you give me also something other than "anonymous" to address you by.
