The few, the proud…
Well, I am glad to know that our military has SOME standards.
Shane Stant, the “hit” man who smacked Nancy Kerrigan’s leg in 1994, wants to be a Navy Seal. Read about it here.
What a great patriot this man wants to be. After serving 14 months in prison for his assault on the skater, he now wants to be serving our country. There’s one little snag. The Naval Special Warfare Division won’t allow convicted felons to join up. Well, I think that is sensible enough. After all, the military has the highest standards, and recruits only the highest level of soldier, right? All those recruiters I have seen in the Wal-Mart and Costco parking lots are very selective.
The funny part is that this guy actually thinks he should be allowed to jump into war zones wearing a wetsuit and carrying automatic weapons. I commend Multnomah County Circuit Judge Julie Frantz for refusing to clear his record. He caused enough of a problem 11 years ago with a police baton that anyone can obtain. Methinks we might want to keep his busy hands away from the C-4.

Dude, let him fight. i’d rather see him take a bullet(or a suicide bomber) than some 18 year old from Kansas that doesn’t know his ass from his elbow and was fed a lot of bullshit.

Well, if we are talking about using him as a human shield, maybe I would change my tune. But once you wipe his record clean, that means he doesn’t have to have that on any job applications for the rest of his life. And as much as I am not a fan of Nancy Kerrigan, I still think those that conspired to assualt her should pay for that decision (in some way) for the rest of their lives.

He’d potentially also be drawing a military pension.

at the pace this war is going, no one is going to drawing any pension.
