Should The Afghan Who Saved Marcus Luttrell Receive Asylum in US?

I vote yes. We are granting asylum to illegal aliens (as a reward for their breaking the law and sneaking into our country) ... Why would we not grant asylum to someone who actually did something for this country?

Absolutely! This man did something for the United States Military which he did not have to do. He jeopardized himself and his whole village.

I am sure that there are many others in similar situations that should be authorized the same.

I would much rather see this than allowing a flood gate of people who want to infect our nation and destroy the economy.

My inclanation is to say yes, as I think he deserve it.....however, I don't think the reason should be becuase he saved Marcus Luttrell.....rather, the reason should be he saved an American Service Member and that should be enough. Who it is doesn't matter. However, if we are not going to grant asylum to other Afghan men / women who have helped service members, then why this man? Is it because he saved Marcus Luttrell??? If that is the case, then I think we are sending the wrong message to all the other service members out there saying that if you don't become famous, then you life isn't as worth it.

****I am in no way trying to belittle or take away from Marcus' service, merely trying to say that all should be treated equally.****
