For those of who don’t know, Wallace spent time in Vietnam back in the olden days. He is also friend and partner to Joe Galloway, co-author of We Were Soldiers Once…And Young. He maintains an archive of Joe’s photos from his time at Ia Drang–and many other places, as well as a site for Ia Drang veterans.
The military won in Vietnam, but America pulled out the final group on this day 30 years ago. Check Wallace’s post, as he has links to two other combat photographers. One may surprise you.
I seldom pass along emails like this, but it fits a topic we should all be interested in:
Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense.
- Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.
- Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.
- Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc.
- Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.
- Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.
- Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.
- Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal, presence in Mexico
- Drive around with no liability insurance and ignore local traffic laws.
- Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.
Good luck! You’ll be demanding for the rest of time or soon dead. Because it will never happen. It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world except right here in the United States. Land of the naive!
The verdict is in, and the sentence has now been pronounced:
After seven hours of deliberation, a military panel sentenced Army Sgt. Hasan Akbar to death Thursday evening.
Michael has some pictures from his stay in Lebanon. Beautiful. What the rest of the Middle East could be like.
His post just before is also excellent.
Cowtown Pattie has posted a list of ten Texas Trivia questions. She will provide answers on Saturday.
I’m embarrassed I know only three for sure, although there are a couple more I think I know.
Often, on this site as well, the comment is better than the post. I won’t spoil it for you. And it is worth the short trip.
