I truely feel sorry for this guy, if he is only going to work, that being said I would not want a questionable character in my cockpit. Period!! We need to quite being a society that thinks we all need to hold hands and get along, they don't and take advantage of our soft spots.
I agree with you. The problem a "questionable" character is a very braod term. Al I am saying is that most Americans (of any race) seem to believe a "questionable" character is anyone of arabic or middle eastern descent. Thats why I say what I say.
Also, I just spent a year in Iraq defending this nations freedoms and I personally saw the attitudes of American soldiers. SO I dont speak out of opinion, I speak from experience. Thanks.
