HUMOR - How to save gas

Gun Runner · Post by **Gun Runner** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 2:02 am

Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use...The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down...

Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the Border....and when they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Iraq .. Tell him if he wants to come to America then he must serve a tour in the military....Give him a soldier's pay while he's over there and tax him on it...After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country...He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves... If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo. Problem solved.....

If you think this is a good solution to both the problems, forward it to
your friends.............

That truly is the best solution for all. My goodness, man, you need to run for office. If you can solve problems that easily, you have my vote.

Read a Science Fiction novel once in which military service was required to become a citizen with full rights. It was so long ago I can't describe the 2 classes of citizenship. I just thought it was an interesting idea.

There was another one in which only taxpayers were full citizens.

45-70-, like you after spending 20 in the navy learned to do things the easy way. (even if a new ENS. thought he had a plan)

Gun runner, an Ensign with a plan is 4 dangerous words. Thats as bad as a 2nd lt with a plan. I always figured any succesful senior military officer must have had some good senior enlisted leadership early on in their career.

Well, the movie Starship Troopers had something like that.

That is the most novel idea I have heard. I would say it could work.

Jeepnik, you're right, it's from the book Starship Troopers by the author of my tagline, who also just so happened to invent the waterbed.
