Within the past few months, a Marine Vet has been jailed in Mexico due to accidentally missing an exit on the way to visit a friend. He was unable to avoid the Mexican border and had weapons and ammunition in the car. He was forthcoming about the weapons in his car when he was pulled over, but they still decided to throw him in jail. During this time, he has been surrounded by thugs, threatened with rape and murder, faces years behind bars, and is left behind by Commander in Chief.
Sgt. Tahmooressi has served 2 tours in Afghanistan, is a decorated war vet, and is a current reservist. The Marine has endured 209 days and America is still counting. Andrew's human rights were violated, such as having all of his limbs being tied to the bed posts, coupled with other factors and that of his PTSD that warrant his immediate release. Obama has put very little focus on this situation, even though it is his own military. He can't make a phone call to help his solider but he can sure make a call directly to the LA Kings captain and congratulate him on his victory of the Stanley Cup! Many believe that the War Vet will be home soon, but thats not decided until his next court date, which is undetermined as of now. If he does not get released, Andrew Tahmooressi faces up to 14 years in the Mexican jail. He is beginning to become hopeless and some feel as if suicide is approaching as a result of his severe PTSD condition.
