As someone who once served, I don't think joining the service isn't the only way to show love or patriotism for your country. There are other things in life than one can do.

To the poster who kept saying he/she would never join the military because this country is oppressing you, -------->You have the nerve to say that? You are what you are because of your parent's decision. When they came here , they knew what the cost and consequences are and yet they did, knowing full well what your future may hold. It is not this country's fault that you are undocumented. There are laws that this country have and I'm sure your home country does too. Lastly, if you feel oppressed, do remember that no one is forcing you to stay here. You have the option to leave.

Sigh.>> That's it good bye. It has been interesting reading about the hopes, dreams and frustrations of the folks here. A great many of you deserve to be citizens of this great nation. Sadly, a few are undeserving.
