    It’s just a hell of a way to treat a veteran

    I feel for the guy, I really do. But this military entitlement pisses me off. You don’t deserve better than others.

      I frame it a different way: his party likes to idolize the military and say they will take care of their own, but then pull stunts like this. should be a wakeup call for some people.

      I agree with you otherwise

        I didn’t have a choice, I was poor and the only way I could better my situation was blowing the limbs of a 9 year old Afghan boy.

        Please have sympathy for me, im a vet.


        I’ve got more respect for fentanyl dealers than I do vets.

        Those types of things are completely fine. They are functionally inconsequential but show acknowledgement of a decision to serve that most Americans do not make and many would actively try to avoid if called to serve.

        Expecting preferential treatment by governmental agencies solely based on that is a totally different story.

          Eh. You’ve agreed to kill people for money. I don’t see that as a virtue.

      Could not agree more. That kind of thing is part of the problem if you ask me. We have this culture where people are expected to genuflect to cops and military. I don’t think they deserve less, depending on how they do their job. I just don’t understand why it’s expected that military and cops should be treated better. Why? If anything, I think we should be thanking caregivers and teachers, etc. for their service…

      I realize stories like this are meant to humanize the situation for a lot of normies as to just what Taco and Pee Wee German are doing to this country, but…it is a bit cloying to see that entitlement aspect.

      He may not be entitled to better treatment than others, but his country just abducted his wife after he pledged his life for that country.

    […] Adrian Clouatre said he is “not a very political person” but believes his wife deserved to live legally in the U.S.

    “I’m all for ‘get the criminals out of the country,’ right?” he said. “But the people that are here working hard, especially the ones married to Americans — I mean, that’s always been a way to secure a green card.”

    This guy 100% voted for Trump.
