SEAL Team Six Commander: Send In The Marines To Retrieve Sgt. Tahmooressi From Mexico

Lead Story by Todd Cefaratti, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
For months, an American Marine has lingered in a Mexican jail for having accidentally brought firearms into Mexico. On March 31st, 2014, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi missed his exit near San Diego and accidentally drove into Mexico with no way to turn around. The Marine carried three loaded firearms in his truck and was arrested and has remained in Mexico’s infamously horrid prison system ever since.

While the Obama Administration has concerned themselves with Michael Brown’s death and as the vacationer-in-chief remains MIA on Martha’s Vineyard, taking breaks to fundraise for Democrats on occasion, the Obama Administration has done nothing to secure the release of the American veteran who lingers in a jail cell.

One man, however, has an idea. Ryan Zinke, the former SEAL Team Six Task Force Commander and current Congressional candidate in Montana, sees the current situation regarding Sgt. Tahmooressi unacceptable. His solution? Send the Marines into Mexico and take back our soldier.
“If I was the first executive of the United States, I would have called the first Marine division and told them to go get their marine back, and I would give them the equipment to do it,” Zinke revealed in a recent interview with Breitbart News.

“I cannot fathom why the media is not pounding the issue,” Zinke explained. “Here is a young marine who’s being held in a Mexican prison and where is this administration? Where is our country? We need to demand that this marine comes back home.”
Breitbart News reported on Zinke’s outstanding resume and noted,
After spending two separate tours with the SEAL Team Six, he served as a Special Operations Officer in Europe commanding the SEAL Joint Task Force TWO in support of Special Operations missions in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo. He was elected to the Montana State Senate in 2008.

Zinke considers himself an optimist and feels America can regain its position as the world’s leader, but we can’t do it under this administration. “We can get respect back, but we can’t lead from behind,” he explained. Moreover, he says that “You lead from the front by doing what you said you were going to do. When you say you are going to be on Israel’s side, then you take its side.”

“If during the Reagan years you were to say that Egypt would be a closer ally to Israel than America, no one would believe it,” said the commander. Bannon agreed, saying that the turnabout is “absolutely shocking.”
Zinke is absolutely correct. This administration is, seemingly, only interested in playing hardball with Americans who resist their radical agenda. On the world stage, however, the Obama Administration is cowardly and flighty on important issues and thoroughly uncommitted to American interests.

If the American military is, indeed, dedicated to the mantra of “leave no man behind,” then Obama must send in troops to retrieve our soldier if he is not man enough to force the release of Sgt. Tahmooressi through diplomacy.

Marine Stuns A Tea Party Rally With The Fourth Verse Of America’s
National Anthem: The Star Spangled Banner

A Marine stuns the crowd at a Tea Party with the fourth verse of the Star Spangled Banner. So Much for a Secular Nation. Thank you for the reminder that our rights come from God and not any man or group of men. God Bless America and Semper Fi Marine! -David W. Hedrick

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
