Reminds me of the late Roman Empire.
Romans: Hey Germanic barbarians, if you join our military and defend us for a few decades, you and your families will receive citizenship and land to settle in!
Also the Romans after the Germans defend them for years: Soooooooooo about that whole land and citizenship thing…… How about we don’t do that, sorry guys….
The Germans: Bro we control the majority of your military. We are just going to take half your empire you little shits.

That dog is so clever. Probably reasoned that the place where she used to stay until she found a family might be able to help her again.

Also no way in gods green earth would a recruiter entertain a lawyer when talking to a recruit, they would just tell your ass to get out of their office.

Murderers act in their best interest, doesn’t make it right. These psychopaths need new laws against them. Their company profits do not have greater importance than the planet and everything that lives on it.

Well when you end up committing crimes while being a US LPR you tend to get yourself in trouble and deported.
> “Whatever charges got a combat veteran deported are irrelevant,” he said. “No one deserves to be deported after sacrificing, doing the things these young men and I had to do. These young men died over there. They were destroyed over there. They were other things when they came home.”
I really wouldn't want someone who has a violent criminal history to get citizenship to be honest. If it is non-violent crime that does not involve crimes involving moral turpitude I don't have an issue giving them another chance.
Also not everyone who served did it honorably or is a good person. I worked with plenty of bad people while I served and deployed with them knowing they were not good people.

It's the law here in Belgium. The government keeps an index of the cost of essentials and companies have to index there wages accordingly. How depends per sector but at worst its a once a year increase in January. Or like my own sector its every e months.

The thing is that with taking inflation into account games haven’t increased a whole lot over the decades. There have been less budget consoles and budget first party games though.
It mostly feels more expensive, some things actually are, but hey that’s part of the flaw of kapitalism and we expecting a raise every year.

Plot twist: Bailey was running away and they returned her to her bad home. (I’m sure that’s totally not the case, it just occurred to me as a storyline)

I don't know enough to answer for certain. The main guy in this article had a green card though, so he wasn't here illegally, but it was revoked when he was charged or convicted. I imagine most of these guys had similar immigration statuses. I don't think an illegal immigrant can join the military. I'm not an expert though so I might be wrong.

In writing means a hell of a lot, assuming it was done correctly (by a lawyer). Your lawyer is there to make it grossly more expensive and difficult to not fulfill the contract, such that their best/easiest/cheapest option is to capitulate and do what they agreed to.

That's why I didn't say 'get an IOU.' Get a lawyer to write and read contracts beforehand, otherwise you're going to get fucked.

Yeah I wouldn't say that they all deserve deportation. Drug charges are a pretty frequent source of felony convictions and deportation seems unwarranted in those cases. I'm don't think it's unfair to deny citizenship to those who commit violent crimes though. I have don't know what the guy in the article was originally charged with. I do know when I've seen article in the past that profiled/interviewed a couple of these guys, several of them had committed shootings and or robberies.
