I wasn't rejected and as a matter of fact I was awarded an expert marksman medal and I spent several years in and around VN. I worked with and trained ARVN troops regularly for 10 years total.

expert marksman eh? so as you are not inclined to be modest , you should tell us how many you successfully shot in order to be awarded such a prize , come on and be honest don't inflate the numbers , 1 point for an adult 2 for a kid as they are smaller and crawl around a bit, making them a more difficult target So how many ??

If you don't answer, people will, understandably ,start to think you are making things up and no different to the dozens of bluffers on here claiming to have been "special forces" Its up to you now , only you can save your failing credibility,

Release the Presnock files and end the speculation

Oh dear reality strikes home as the useful idiots realise

Except that they are not being denied due process, that is a myth propagated by the left.

Every illegal alien that has an order of removal issued against them, has had all the due process they are entitled to.

Have there been a few mistakes? Sure. But by and large, ICE is acting legally and apprehensions and deportations are legal.y

Pepper-spraying and using force to deter "protesters" interfering with ICE is also legal, and any "protester" that touches an ICE officer has committed a felony.

The head man of ICE has been sacked over the killings, can we have your comments on that, as you supported the killings......? 🤫

Just read that not one of the accusations made by officials was made in the report to Congress about the Pritti shooting.

In (the) statement, DHS also said Pretti "approached" the CBP agents with a 9mm semi-automatic firearm. But CBP's report to Congress makes no claim that Pretti tried to reach for his firearm.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem alleged that Pretti approached federal agents with a gun in what she described as an effort to kill officers, and Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino accused Pretti of trying to "massacre law enforcement" — allegations that did not appear in the Office of Professional Responsibility's report.

The report does not state that Pretti's gun discharged accidentally.

Bad news for you anarchy sympathizers.

Looks like Tim Walz has caved. The Minneapolis police has stepped in and is arresting the protesters.

Tim Walz has used these useful idiots like puppets and now decides to throw them under the bus.

Its blatantly obvious that these are not concerned citizens protesting against ICE

Its clear that many are paid activists , professional troublemakers , whose sole intention is to stoke civil unrest regardless of the consequences

Well the party is over now boo hoo what a pity , now lock them all up

So Homan folded to Governor Waltz in the clip and agreed to Waltz's demand for a significant reduction in ICE agents and an end to the campaign of retribution against Minnesota. Homan reports to Trump and we can conclude that Trump folded or we like to say TACO. Another body blow to the GOP mid-term. 😄

I don't care who cares about my views, I don't care what you think

These protests were nothing to do with any ICE crackdown, just a further attempt to create social unrest , chaos, and anarchy by professional agitators who have again whipped up the ignorant lefty simpletons into a frenzy resulting in the deaths of two of them which were uneccessary

Those ultimately responsible for this situation, the " anarchists" care less for the dead than I do , its all considered justifiable collateral damage, by them

So dry your eyes and save your crocodile tears nobody is interested in your virtue signalling, and accept that you are allowing yourself to be played too, just like the simpletons out on the streets, conned into furthering the sinister agenda of the unknown opposers of law and order , who's aim is the breakdown of society

As per AI Gemini, the Pretti gun was never fired at all:

The Gun Was Recovered Undischarged: A government report sent to Congress on January 27, 2026, confirmed that a Border Patrol agent took possession of Pretti’s firearm during the struggle and secured it in a government vehicle. There is no evidence in the report or in video footage that the weapon was ever discharged.

I never claimed to be special forces of any type, the award is based on firing a weapon in boot camp solely, and to me all life is precious. War is hell for sure and anyone that has ever been involved in one and is sane would definitely agree with me. I am always amazed at comments made on this forum about my comments and some of the comments of others. It does show me just what some of you are like and glad I don't associate with any of you in person. It is also obvious to me that most of the people I trade barbs with, have been raised in a different world than that of mine and I thank the heavens for that. I do wish you well though.

The study that showing that half the rate of native-born citizens for violent and drug crimes, and roughly one-quarter the rate for property crimes is a phony two-year study in only a small part of the state. It's bullsh*t.

Apprehending and or convicting illegal aliens is much more difficult than citizens, and only about a third of murders result in convictions, assuming your numbers are correct, illegal by aliens murder about 7 per 100,000, so deporting a million saves 70 lives.

In any event, every crime committed by an illegal alien is a crime that would not be committed but for illegal immigration.

Why do you suppose Texas is the only state that tracks criminal status by immigration status?

LOL. Here is a more recent version of the study, over several years, showing that illegal immigrants have a lower crime rate in Texas! 🤣

It confirms what @bannork wrote.

No.

For one thing, they all have whistles.

Go buy a whistle on Lazada and stand on the street whistling all day and see if you don't get arrested or attacked by a mob of Thais. It's disturbing the peace.

Also, they are blocking and directing traffic as though they have taken over the city. And yelling in the faces of ICE officers, which is distracting them. All of these tactics are highly distracting to law enforcement.

This is a coordinated effort by paid agitators to destabilize Trump and the whole country.

I am illegal immigration. The bigger cause of the problem, is not only the huge numbers of those coming illegally into the country is because the country does not have enough immigration judges to be able to provide hearings and adjudicate all those coming into the country. a change to the law on citizenship might help by indicating that anyone illegally coming into the country can never become a citizen nor can their family become citizens. I know that sounds harsh but even trying to do things legally is difficult. As for politics, I have never been a Democrat nor would I vote for a Democrat for the highest positions as I have never been a fan of their political beliefs since I have been old enough to vote since the mid 60's. I first registered as a Republican but changed to an Independent and then just about quit voting for presidents as I was disappointed in the candidates selected. it was voting for the best of the worst IMHO and after living and working in many countries of different religions and political persuasions, i realized that the US was not alone in having a problem with having candidates that governed for the people of and for that nation. But it just seems to me that the SuperPacs continue to pick candidates that will enable the rich and powerful to get richer at the expense of the citizens so I give up on voting altogether, and just complain about policies as I realize that I am impotent in changing any of them in the time I have left on this rock so I have learned to be much happier but continue to be law abiding where ever I reside. I love life and appreciate the thoughts of MOST people but not all. I do wish all a good life.

Blocking the traffic and yelling are not capital offences. When will the DOJ and FBI investigate the wanton killings.

Blocking traffic, especially if it impedes law enforcement, is a felony/crime/whatever. I'm not a lawyer.

Again, go out in the street with a group of friends and whistles in Thailand. You will be arrested to disturbing the peace.

Go try it. And then go play in the freeway.
