Do illegal aliens have more courage than white boys in the military?

I don't know, but I am quite certain that ANY of them have more courage than you do. Most of them are probably a lot less racist than you also.

hell no, we take pride in our voluntary fighting force, vietnam taught us that our fighting effectiveness is hindered by inducting pukes who wouldnt serve to save their own skin. they are a liability, not an asset.\n\nThe koreans are different. Their homes are sighted by Communist artillery, they have a patriotic duty to serve and protect their homes. American homes are sighted by terrorists for destruction and conquest, but the liberal pukes in this country have convinced us to disregard this threat, and to start defunding the military and focus on prosecuting people for engaging in the war. the average joe doesnt realize the threat from the islamo-fascists, because they are not as plainly visible as the hardened communist artillery bunkers pointed at their cities, it is a shadowy threat that we face, and if they cant see the threat, then they are less inclined to fight it. I thought 9-11 woke people up, I was mistaken.

I am afraid not. It will come down to fighting them here on our own soil before some ppl. will wake up. Are you ready?\n\nNotme--sometimes it's not our choice.

yes most definately.  if they are willing to fight for our country, fight for freedom, fight for us,  they should be able to live here.

Yes. Shouldn't we be very proud of those that defend the Homeland. Whether it's Bush or a local cop, they still put in their efforts. All of those efforts performed in a united fashion makes us safer as a nation.

Yes i believ eit does. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors and Mexico is definently our neighbor. He taught us to wash the feet of lepers and be kind to prostitutes. He taught us to turn the other cheek to our enemies and to love them as much as our brothers.\n\nJesus would be dissapointed at our treatment of illegal aliens.

No! many soldiers that died in Nam were not US citizens. Illegals have to have a valid work permit to join also there is an extensive background check by the FBI before you take the oath to defend this country.

illegal aliens work harder but white trash are rewarded more

Absolutely. They aer standing up for our freedom and the freedom of millions of other people. They are risking their lives so we can ask silly questions (I am not implying this is a silly question, I am just meaning in general) in forums like this. They are doing their civic duty at a high risk to their own lives. God bless our troops and God bless America.

At this point I believe so. We are in a war on terror officially. Any country that does not take our concerns seriously, need a wake up call. Mexico is one of them. We have every right to militarize our border when we are being invaded. And we are being invaded. The invaders carry drugs, diseases and are by their very nature counter culture. They cost the US billiions of dollars in untold ways and they threaten the culture in general. They are also, outside of the law of this country by entering in the way they do. All that said, I'm sure many are nice people.\nI would ask the question, "if someone put a gun to your head and blew your brains out, would it matter to you if they were a nice person?"\nWe ARE at war with these people and in a sense with Mexico and while it is not traditional, it is being fought for the same old things most wars are fought for. Power, control, money.

Russians and Chinese will have plenty of courage but the $ and science will not be available to develop the level of technology that the US spends so much money on.  And when push comes to shove courage displays itself in any military.  Thus you are left with the US.

No not at all. as the other person said they will flip flop. The loyalty is in one place one day gone the next. They do not follow the same fundamentals our solders or Police follow i.e. Honer, Courage, & commitment. They Honor their families, they do not honor the job, They are cometted to there beleifs (as they should) not to the job, and the courage is a completely different definition of courage all together. To understand them you have to understand how they live, work, and play. This will help you understand my answer.

Strength of the military plays a key role, but determination is equally important.  If the soldiers aren't focused on their missions and determined to win, victory can't be assured.

It is part of their job. When you join the guard the oath is to protect America from all threats both foreign and domestic. Fact - Illegal aliens are breaking the law. \n\nThe guard on the border is a great idea.\n\nIF (1) they are going to have any power to enforce the law. \nIF (2)they do more than just stand there and watch. It will be a waste of time if the illegals can just either walk over them or move down the road and run over the border. \n\nGive the troops the ability and means to keep illegals out. \n\nSupport the troops no matter where they are, Iraq , Afghanistan or the Mexican border.\n\nAlso the plan is to keep the troops there until more border guards are trained. How long that is depends on how smart the border guard trainees are.

Yes...they are very nervous, the "demonstrations", the disrespect of the flag, the "everything" was a colossal mis calculation on the part of the illegals and their supporters. Talk about open foot insert mouth. Nobody gets away with trying to strong arm the Americans, the concept alone makes me laugh. They were so blatantly cocky and egotistic that they have no idea how to even start damage control. This attempt at trying to intimidate American politicians is weak and reeks of a last ditch effort to salvage some respect for their cause. Illegals do not have the voting power (or right) to make any changes at all. America should speak with ONE voice (which should be in English). America should have diversity in it's people but unity in it's culture. America is not served well by having radical ethnic groups trying to lobby on behalf of people who have committed an offense against a principal law of a nation, namely it's sovereignty. Especially when that very country provides a legitimate and formal welcome.
