Deadbeat Dad Hypocrite

Dittohd writes "This American guy who lives in Mexico and married a Mexican woman has written articles criticizing "thousands of Mexican men (who) use emigration to abandon their wives and children," calling them "deadbeat dads", yet he repeatedly reenlists in the U.S. National Guard after marrying and having children, knowingly setting himself and his family up for exactly what just happened to him/them. Now he's been Called to Fight in Iraq (duh!) and is complaining about not having U.S. law to protect his job while he's gone so that he can come back to that same job when (and if) he makes it back. Plus he complains that his family has now lost the health insurance his previous employer provided.

Isn't this guy every bit a "deadbeat dad" as all the other men he criticizes or what? Was he putting his family and children first and foremost each time he reenlisted in the National Guard or wasn't he selfishly putting his family at risk in return for the few extra dollars he received from the U.S. Government for staying in and repeatedly reenlisting in the Guard?

What a loser!"
