Bingo, thats the spots. I doubt I even have to mention National City.... or the revolving door that is San Ysidro. I learned a lot about the underbelly of those areas because sailors often date foreigners, I no longer condone that practice (tolls paid!). I witnessed illegal back room wire transfers to other nations in foreign owned businesses. I attended churches that were covers for chain migration visa scams, my girl had used one, imagine my shock when I found her wedding documents in 'our' house. As a veteran who considers himself loyal to his oaths, this presented a very real moral dilemma for me. Sure I was in love, vagina has that effect on sailors, but sometimes you have to face that you may in fact be 'sleeping with the enemy' and I surely was. Dont worry, as soon as the deployments stopped and I came home, the situation coalesced into its natural ending, and I was nearly destroyed but escaped intact to more amenable regions. I'll tell you what she told me one day, with no training or participation in conspiracy forums, of her own will, and in bragging form, she informed me of the following with a straight face: "Everyone in my country knows Americans are stupid, you have everything but you dont defend it, we can take it from you and you wont stop anyone and government will take care of us but not you. Americans are stupid, everyone in my country knows this and we will take from you, no one cares" I guess you could say, I chose at that moment, to care. We kid ourselves sometimes into thinking the lives of men from the past, is where the revolutions happened, we often forget that for those ancient men of action, it was just another Wednesday. We are someones ancestors too, and that responsibility belongs to us, as well as our formers.
