Our Current Unknown Soldier !

At the time of this writing Marine Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi will have been in jail six full months… 180 days. A soldier, in the United States Marine Corps. His crime? Accidently making a wrong turn into Mexico, our friends, our neighbors to the South. Yes, they claim to be our friends.

Sgt. Tahmooressi was in San Diego to get the medical treatment he needed for combat-related PTSD, among other things. He had parked on the American side while joining friends for a few drinks. Not being very familiar with the border area, he chose the wrong lane in which to turn around. When he realized his mistake he immediately told the guard what had happened and he was simply looking to get back to the US. He also immediately disclosed that he had guns in the back of the pickup, legally owned in the U.S. The guard understood the mistake called for an escort car to take the Sergeant back across the border. However, an overzealous Mexican military official decided he was not going to let this injustice happen!

He was not going to let that arrogant American soldier who dared to bring guns into Mexico get away with it and he was going to administer justice.

Is that the same military that fires on American border patrols when they are close to the Mexican border but still on the American side? YES! The same Mexican military known for taking bribes from the cartels to allow tonnage of drugs to be smuggled over the border in America? YES! Could this be the same Mexican military that can’t seem to see the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants passing through Mexico on the tops of buses and trains? The same illegals they used to shoot and abuse in times past when they crossed the southern border into Mexico with the intent of staying in Mexico, but since they are continuing on to the U.S. they are ushered along without incident? YES! The same! But they can’t seem to find an ounce of humanity towards Marine Sergeant Tahmooressi.

The Mexican government and especially their president, who decries the inhumane U.S. treatment of his people, who incidentally are running away from him because of his corrupt government’s inhumane treatment of them, are hypocrites. He is appalled that we didn’t set up water facilities in the desert for his people as they break our laws. He was upset because we deport his people who intentionally break our laws. We jail them for repeatedly breaking the law when they get past the border patrol. He wants us to welcome them in with open arms and without exception or background check. Hmmm, I’m surprised the United States of Obama hasn’t issued them weapons yet.

The Mexican president can’t even, in a gesture of good will to show how “open armed” he is, push along the Sergeant’s legal process and make sure he is safe. Maybe we should treat the Illegals coming over the border the same way they are treating the Sergeant. Let’s capture them, put them in a hot, non-air-conditioned tent or room, have them stripped down, chain them to their beds for four days with little food and water, and should they need medical treatment, deny it. That must be what he means by humane treatment because that’s how he’s treating Sgt. Tahmooressi. He couldn’t complain if we treated his law-breaking citizens illegally entering our country the same way, right?

  1. Joe, I am so grateful that you are keeping Sgt Tahmooressi’s plight out in front. I am appalled that our feckless leader has was in Mexico to meet with their president just a month before our borders were over run with the ‘impoverished & abused’ children seeking asylum. John Kerry, also has met with Mexican officials on “more important” issues.
    Equally egregious are the VETERANS serving in CONGRESS that have apparently chosen to “LEAVE HIM BEHIND’ and focus on their elections. One would think that at least John McCain who has used his own imprisonment as advance would lead a charge. Other than Duncan Hunter and a couple of others have applied any pressure as citizens or leaders in that direction. To me, this is a sharp stick in the eye.

    With all the ‘election’ activity, I fear Andrew will continue to be ignored. Letters, emails etc won’t be read (if they ever are) but we can try…IF Given a chance to see your representatives face to face, ASK him/her WHAT HAVE YOU PERSONALLY DONE..TO BRING OUR MARINE HOME.?
    Our local talk radio had Mike Conway on and I called in and asked that very question. I got an ‘oatmeal’ answer, but it did start a conversation.

    Elections? I will not vote or support any candidate that puts themselves ahead of a man that has laid his tail on the line, not once, but three times for me so that I can have the privilige of voting. Andrew Tahmooressi honored his oath of office…..

    Let’s get him home…Black Hawk down style if needed
