Montel Williams gives an emotional testimony to the House Foreign
Affairs Committee on Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi's detention in Mexico after he crossed the border with guns in his truck. As a veteran, he tells Congress he won't let his son serve because the of the government's lack of oversight regarding Sgt. Tahmooressi's safe return home and pleaded the Obama Administration for Sgt. Tahmooressi's release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U5MOyATQvQ |

Im pretty sure he's a good guy. He rescued some lady in a pretty bad car wreck a while back. He's no idiot.

Don't forget his ads for The Money Store. Borrow $1K - pay back $4-5K.

I respect his past, and the act he put on today - but he's a weird guy who will do most anything for a buck.
But I was surprised and impressed by his service, and for that I can give him a fresh start. |

His show was trashy, but he sounds like a very compassionate guy for our vets. They deserve more than the crappy government system they have now.
I don't know much about the case he was speaking of, though. Good on him for his 22 years of service, and working through his TBI/PTSD injuries. That shows true character. I never thought this before, but if all black children were to model after him, our murder and crime rates would drop like a rock. |

Im glad to hear him stand up for this but I cant help but feel he wants something. maybe looking at politics I dont know
But I still get bad vibes. |

Quoted: Even a broken clock is right twice a day. . View Quote I may not always agree with the man but his military pedigree deserves respect. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 3, 1956, Williams enlisted in the U.S. Marines upon graduating high school in 1974. He took basic training at Parris Island, South Carolina, where he was promoted to platoon guide. After basic training, he was sent to the Desert Warfare Training Center at Twenty-nine Palms, near Palm Springs, California.
While at Twenty-nine Palms, his superiors became impressed with his leadership skills, and he was recommended for, and accepted to, the Naval Academy Preparatory school at Newport, Rhode Island. He completed the one-year course, and was accepted to the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. When he arrived at Annapolis on July 6, 1976, he was honorably discharged as a corporal from the marines, and enlisted into the navy as a midshipman. While at Annapolis, Williams studied Mandarin Chinese and graduated with a degree in general engineering and a minor in International Security Affairs. It was at Annapolis that Williams first began to shave his head. Upon his graduation in 1980, he became the first black enlisted marine to complete and graduate both the Academy Prep School and Annapolis |

I am honestly suprised a bunch of our veterans (I am one btw) have not taken up arms and gone down to Mexico them self. It's complete bull shit that we are allowing them to hold him. Ok I get it, he screwed up and did something stupid. Regardless of why give him the fuck back, and we will take care of it!

I've flown with him several times. He's always been a gentleman to the crew, which is more than I can say for the vast majority of celebrities...
