@AmericanAir there were no seats left on the bus. She offered to place us on standby for the next bus to Scranton. If we did not get seats on the stanby bus, we would be rebooked for a bus the next evening! 24 hours later. AA is no longer our go to airline.
@AmericanAir Traveling recently from Fort Lauderdale to Scranton with a connection to a bus in Philadelphia. We had to run almost the entire length of PHL airport to catch the bus to Scranton. We are in our mid 70s. When arriving at the gate, the totally uncaring gate agent said
@JDVance Hey corporal. You obviously forgot the Marine honor code “to never lie, cheat, or steal; to abide by an uncompromising code of integrity; to respect human dignity; and to have respect and concern for each other.”
BREAKING: Eric Trump just realized live on a Fox News interview segment that his mom was an immigrant and therefore his father's claim that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of the country" applies to him.
@SEMPER_The_Book@UROCKlive1 I am from NJ and saw this coming years ago. I am not a rocket scientist. I get Trump. I will never understand why millions of my fellow countrymen and women cannot see the charade.
@CNNOpinion Jane Horton’s grief is understandable, but being in a high level government position should enlighten her as to how our country gets into and out of these conflicts. Viet Nam and Iraq: false justification and no exit strategy. Afghanistan: no exit strategy.
@EMmommanuke @CMCRET I served in combat in VN (DFC, BS (2), AMs w/V, PH). I've never been called those things either. And, I have not witnessed any VN vet being spit on or called a baby killer. Maybe, I am just lucky.
@CMCRET It is a pity to see a decorated vet go off the political deep end. If his military experience is legit, I thank him for his service. There are counselors at the VA that might be able to help him.
@CMCRET I am weary of those on the right accusing those on the left of dividing our country. Example: Repub behavior at the SOTU. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the divider supreme. Learned behavior from her mentor Trump.
@Kenneth39005841@logynn_b@patzak1@ericareport I am a left-leaning moderate who agrees that unsubstantiated accusations are unacceptable from anyone. But...Trump was a net liability to justice for all and the Constitution of the US.
@GAPeach_GOP@ericareport Their are times when number of volunteers have been less than expected, and positions in specific needs of the branches can open positions open to immigrants that have a skill or background that will offer citizenship for a given length of service.
@GAPeach_GOP@ericareport "would serve JUST to become citizens"
I think by enlisting they would be taking the more difficult route to becoming a citizen.
This isn't the easy route. But I am guessing you haven't served, so you should sit this one out.
@GAPeach_GOP@ericareport A person from another country chooses to fight alongside our men and women in uniform should definitely receive citizenship, why take that away. They take that risk, and possibly die for our country, that’s the least we can do!
@GAPeach_GOP@ericareport And why shouldn't that be another pathway? Hell I might even say serving might make them better than most of the people railing against this
