Mortgage lenders may not foreclose, or seize property for a failure to pay a mortgage debt, while a service member is on active duty for nine (9) months grace period prior to December 31, 2012 unless they have the approval of a court. After December 31, 2012, the grace period for Service member protection will revert back to 3 months. In a court proceeding, the lender would be required to show that the service member's ability to repay the debt was not affected by his or her military service.

uh, not much of an answer. i know george bush helped keep the vietnamese out of texas and alabama - for which i am eternally grateful; however, are there some current threats to the country? what are "our" interests, exactly? (or are you referring to corporations? who are people now, i am told.)

You guys know what our interests are and they are many. Free trade and commerce, the ability to travel freely and establish trade zones and routes of commerce, and yes, much to your disappointment, the right to a reliable source of energy. Our country without energy is dead in the water. There is more to this of course, but you guys know exactly what all that means, you are just not agreeing. That of course, is your right, but it doesn't keep you from being wrong, sorry....

Cool, it's our RIGHT to reliable energy?? All along I thought it was just our selfish user mentality.
How bout we quit exporting our oil and quit buying theirs?

But, Dept Of Defense is something of a misnomer, as they are almost exclusively deployed overseas in roles which seem more preemptive than reactionary.

True. For comparison, where I work, the CEO makes about 100 times what the lowest paid "full time" employee does.

And, all members of the military have access to the same healthcare system.

If you were a clerk/typist in the motor pool in Saigon, in the war, that counts as being a Viet Nam vet.

So, more info is beginning to leak on alledged killer Sgt. Bales.

It would seem that he has a history of being a bit of a loose cannon.
> 2002: Run in with the law..assault and battery....Drunk perhaps?
> 2008: leaving the scene of an accident..............Drunk perhaps?

> Reports of Marital problems..............................Alchoholic perhaps?
> Reports of financial problems.............................Irresponsible perhaps?

> Says his mouth-piece after a face to face interview, 'Sgt. Bales claims he has no recollection of the alledged incident'.......Drunk perhaps?

How did this guy with his behavioral/self-discipline issues slip thruogh the cracks?
Also, it would seem that he is going to use this little amnesia schtick as his defense=so if he cant remember-then he cant be held responsible-right.
therefore..WHO is going to be held accountable?

I don't know the degree to which his history is a contributing or a mitigating factor. Probably some of each.

After his own (alleged) horrible behavior, the responsible party are his buddies and the chain of command. It's hard to imagine they didn't see some aberrant behavior.

Accountable? Hopefully the perp. Then his immediate chain of command. 1st sgt, up to captain. The col probably didn't know his name. The major may not have known him well enough to see weird behavior. But the captain and below probably did.

Well, I thought those soldiers were supposed to be killing afghanis!

No Larry, they are supposed to be chasing the Taliban. And certainly not killing innocent afghan women and children.

Most probably the blame will fall on E-6 and below.

You haven't been to the Gulf Coast in a long time, I guess. The place has an awful lot of Vietnamese. Especially Texas and Louisiana. Also a fair number of Cambodians and Laotians. We have a Lao Buddhist temple down the highway from where I live and I know of several Vietnamese RC churches.

Is this sarcasm or what? WTF is wrong with Vietnamese? Wonderful, industrious ethnic group of well mannered and hard working people. Lots in South Lousiana, SE Texas and SW AL, as well as a whole bunch here in OKC. Nice group....
