Unfortunately the Army is always losing important shit. CSB: After I finished Officer Candidate School, I was assigned to a platoon. The clerk poked around in the records and informed me that there was no record of my attending AIT (Enlisted basic training + specialty training.) I kinda remember being there, in fact, I don't think you can even go to OCS if you didn't already complete Basic.

But so it went.  I didn't really GAF since I was functioning as Platoon Leader even though the guy on the rolls listed as such was off at flight school in exchange for whatever sexual services he'd provided to his senator. I asked the clerk to see what he could do. Never want to piss off a clerk or the PFC who knows where the barrel of the .50 cal went.

I kinda liked being the Immaculate Conception Platoon Leader.

Had nearly the same thing happen to me on my way out.  Waiting to separate and was told they didn’t have records about AIT and that there was a gap in my records, implying that I wasn’t eligible to separate even though it was at a time when they were drawing down (RIF) and sending guys out the door with less than two years’ service,  I had literally rolled from basic into AIT in less than two weeks (same base) so it wasn’t like it was a different base, and I had partly served after AIT at the same base.  I told them to contact my ex-battalion commander (now a full colonel and regimental) and ask him why he would allow me to serve without having done AIT, and also why were they sending my paycheck to a base during a time frame that they didn’t have info on me having served at and also how I had been promoted during that time. They let me go with the promise I could get an amended DD214 in the future,

This was the mid-90s and they were ostensibly computerized and networked, but I wondered for years after if I would get a notice that I would somehow be recalled and told to finish my service that they weren’t sure about.

Yes, but to be fair, the drastic amount of foreigners has not exactly gone over super well with all of the population.  I married an Espanola and live here now, and there's tons of complaining about all the migrants (who are either super poor or super rich, many of whom have little grasp of the language) either increasing crime or increasing housing/food prices.  Every silver lining has a cloud.

It took my dad 7-8 months to get his pay for his battlefield commission. How did he found out he had it? Pay officer showed up at a hot LZ with a bag full of bills. Handed it to my dad, saluted him and got back on the chopper.

Problem. Dad was surrounded by a company of Nung irregulars he was leading. Lets say he did not sleep well much until he got back to the base.

Paperwork never caught up with him though. He was going for Major slot when they asked about how he got his commission since there was a lapse in service. Could he prove where he served? 5th SFG. What Base? All of them (Mobile Mike Force.)

He did the same thing. Said call my old, and now new commander, Colonel Beckwith. Shit got sorted out.

I still fuck with him and call him Corporal.

It's not deportation, but it's definitely cruelty. Another win for the """good guys"""

https://www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-texas-girl-bullied-over-familys-immigration-status-takes-her-own-life-575984

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza took her life after experiencing months of relentless bullying from her sixth grade classmates over her family's immigration status, with some students even threatening to contact the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

On February 3, Carranza's single mother, Marbella Carranza, received a call notifying her that her daughter had attempted to take her life inside the family's home in Gainesville, Texas. Her 11-year-old daughter was rushed to an intensive care unit in Dallas but died on February 8, according to a GoFundMe page.

"I waited a whole week for a miracle that my daughter would be well, but unfortunately nothing could be done," Marbella told Univision. "My daughter will always live for me, and I will always love her."

The Gainesville Intermediate School was aware Carranza was being bullied and mocked by students who told the young girl she would be left alone when her parents got deported. It had gotten so aggressive, Carranza was meeting with a school counselor multiple times a week. Her family, however, was never notified.

Now, Marbella, who discovered her daughter was being bullied only after she died, is working with investigators and the school to determine exactly what happened and why the young girl's family wasn't made aware of what was happening.

Interesting, looks like he had a somewhat heroic couple of tours, lifted a burning car off of two soldiers and caught fire in the process, dealt with mental issues and fired a gun into a crowd, did time in prison.

I guess good news for people who care about pregnant women’s legs is that they’re getting rid of the brown people and presumably bolstering mental health resources at the VA. I haven’t been following, not sure.

Hey man, I'm just posting the headline that our armed forces newspaper went with. Take it up with our service members if you don't like it. Some other details you seem to have forgotten from the article: 

Quote

The promise of U.S. citizenship from the Army sounded better than working construction in Miami, so he joined up before he was old enough to drive. Between tours he filled out citizenship papers, but they disappeared. He tried again after his second tour, but he never finished them possibly because the 22-year-old was, as he described it, “a mess.” Upon his return to Fort Carson, with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, and reliant on half a dozen medications and drinking, he had a flashback one night, shot into a crowd and injured a pregnant woman in the leg. Convicted and sentenced to 52 years, he was given early parole and released just days after President Donald Trump was sworn in Jan. 20. A team of ICE agents were waiting for him with an open seat in their vehicle to take him to another cell, this time to await his fate.


Nevermind that he had PTSD from his second tour in Iraq and suffered a flashback, and was following the rules with citizenship and got early parole, deport that brown man!!!! Cruelty is the point, after all. 

And besides shouldn't the oligarchs call all the shots anyways?? They're the ones with the economic interest, so they should be the deciders. Fuck the law amirite? The president alone interprets that!

Not like we will fund resources he would have needed for that PTSD or TBI even if he was a citizen.

More meat for the war machine, who gives a shit what happens to them after!  We have to slash 30% of the VA budget to fund more Starlink/Tesla bullshit.

I haven’t dug a bunch into his backstory but the article I found didn’t go into detail about the shooting. If you’re trying to paint by numbers, mass death shooting event would trigger discussion about gun laws (inevitably because of the gun used) where mentally unstable vet shooting into a crowd and hitting one person in the leg sounds like “we should take care of our troops, including dealing with the massive trauma inherent to the ways that they are asked to serve “.

 

i don’t like the guy doing gun violence but I’m not connecting that with him being brown. if the deal was military service as a path to citizenship I think we should treat him like a citizen and a veteran. But for a lot of people this is how they want to treat their neighbors and our troops.

funny, i didnt bring this story in this thread.  of all of the deportees whose stories you guys could choose to share, it just so happen to be the single story involving a felon who shot at an innocent pregnant person. 

the last big thread involving a shooting - in kenosha - it just so happens that all the people you guys had had to contort yourself into defending all turned out to be felons convicted for child abuse and such.

i mean, talk about picking your heroes

so in this case, it sounds like the guy didn't know who he was shooting. he was having some sort of mental health crisis and fired into a crowd and hit one person, thankfully non-fatally. Adding the details that it was a pregnant lady ratchets up the hysteria and emotion around it, which of course is why it is framed as "he shot a pregnant lady", which is accurate but not representative of what happened.

similarly, in kenosha, what's his face didn't go track down a pedophile child abusing i don't even know what - he went there to shoot protestors he disagreed with.

I don't know if you're following the nuance at all here but it's consistent to treat these things the way the people here are treating them - it is related to context and intent rather than picking framing that allows you to emotionally justify your favorite types of cruelty.

Cool rambling nonsense bro. I'm just confused as to how this "illegal alien" was able to serve in our army and how we're all fine with him risking his life to do that but then suddenly he's a different species when it comes to our legal system and suddenly he shouldn't be in our country anymore after serving it.

Also for another thread maybe, but the fact you can complete 2 tours of duty and NOT automatically be granted citizenship upon being discharged is highly regarded.

Here's your discharge papers, here's your naturalization certificate, thank you for your service. 

But no, we make them also navigate a complicated bureaucratic process by still having them apply through USCIS - at least they waive the fees for them.  it should be automatic upon completion of service.

That's it.  That's the entirety of the conservative philosophy.  Not a single one of them -- zero, zilch, NONE of them -- demand or expect any legal accountability for the persons you just noted.  And the abovementioned philosophy is why.  Laws are only to be applied to those disfavored by the regime.  Those favored by the regime are only protected by the laws, they are not subject to them.

Point to the post where this guy was being lionized.

Also, take a moment to reflect on the felon, who's the grandson of an illegal immigrant by today's standards, who hires illegal immigrants, and who's married to an illegal immigrant, attempting to unconstitutionally strip the rights of American citizens born in this country.

Ah, yes, but recall that the head of the current regime tried to defund that very same newspaper a little over four years ago, the last time it held power. It, therefore, must be "fake news," so who's to say what the story really is? It's a good thing that one of the previously mentioned illegal immigrants, who's been placed in charge of an experienced team of crack budgetary policy experts to unconstitutionally hack away at Congressionally authorized and funded programs, controls a reliable media outlet that totally isn't known for intentionally misleading the public.

This is 5000% true.  America has a horrible tradition of racism.  Absolutely horrible.  But what is OK to say in polite company in parts of Europe would never fly in the US.  Central and south americans can imigrate to Spain pretty easily, so there are lots of Argentenians, Venzuelans, Brazilians, etc. here.  They get tons of shit and for the most part hate Spainards.
