#1 But for his fear, there is no cure. "When I lie in bed at night, I dream of the war," he says.

Somehow, I have this suspicion that the apprehension he's feeling was inspired by none other than the Media and their frequent tales of Iraqi doom.

#2 That's the Rock Bottom Brewery, and the beer and food there are pretty good. Didn't know I could get a new SS# there. Thought I had to go to Pakistan for that.

...

Maybe we should have Rantapalooza there. Beer and fake ID's all around!

#3 somehow i suspect serving in the military will be very good training for citizenship. They'll learn english fluently, if they dont already know it, will be socially assimilated by their fellow american soldiers, will learn initiative, ability to follow orders, etc, etc. Plenty of worse ways to get new citizens.

#4 At least Mr Ritzau is fulfilling his obligation. That's more than you can say for losers like Pablo Paredes.....and this guy isn't even a citizen (yet).

Thanks for your service, Mr Ritzau!

#5 I certainly have more respect for Raymond than I do for the jackoff at expatica.com who came up with the obviously prejudicial title. He's smart, aware, and normal. I am happy he's here. I may go sponsor him with Operation AC when he ships out. Such worthy people make America worthy, thanks, bro.

#6 "When I lie in bed at night, I dream of the war,"

And yet, he will go. Only fools have no fear.

But what he is doing? Thats the true mark of a man. A true example of courage. Someone that I will be very glad to have as a fellow citizen and fellow veteran.
