| 2019-09-21 |
| [FOX] Thirteen Marines have been formally charged with playing a role in the smuggling of undocumented immigrants into the U.S., the Marine Corps announced Friday. In addition to the smuggling charges, the Marines will face military court proceedings for charges including failure to obey an order, drunkenness, endangerment, larceny and perjury, according to a statement from the 1st Marine Division Press Office. Two of the Marines were specifically named -- Lance Cpls. Byron Law and David Salazar-Quintero -- but the other names were withheld. These two have also been charged federally with transporting and conspiring to transport illegal immigrants into the country for financial gain. Both were based at Camp Pendleton, in California. |

| #5 Stupid unsupervised junior enlisted games. It happens. IIRC, 5 junior AF enlisted took their service sidearms and held up a McDonald's a few years ago. My guess is this latest group of sooper-geniuses were recent graduates of our super-woke public high-school system. And so didn't think they were doing anything actually wrong. |

| #3 End this scourge. Zero tolerance for illegal immigration. Next, prosecute the "amnesty" city councillors for aiding and abetting violent crimes committed in their jurisdictions by illegals. |
