Are foreign born U.S. soldiers always insane?

We have a number of servicemen on this board. Most of them are pretty normal - Alci, funkmonk, Tonitrus etc. (besides the inevitable geek streak).

Two stand out, though: Hansmeister, born in Germany; Siegebreaker, from Israel.

Is this just coincidence or are foreign born service members much more likely to develop mental conditions?

Hansmeister was born in the US I believe.  He was raised in Germany though.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I think it's a case of the more meaty posts one makes, the more his underlying insanity is revealed. Those purportedly normal posters you listed tend to keep a low profile.

What the fuck?
I go away for 2 days and I get blamed of insanity?

I do NOT have a mental condition!

And you all know it is bullshit.

I am a law abiding citizen.
The blood I spill these days, belongs to America's enemies. Very bad people, as bad as people can be.
I am an ideoligcally motivated soldier. I believe in what we fight for, I believe in what America stands for.
So go and blame your failure to stand up to my standards on somebody else.
It is not my fault you can't make the cut.

Not as insane as a system where DADT is considered a swell idea.

"What America stands for?" You bitch about gay marriage because there's no legal reason to deny it in a country that was supposed to be free of your theological squabbles. In fact, a lot of your bigotry is against "what America stands for." Military philosophy != the "American Dream."

Fuck you, faggot-lover.

Besides, Siege is insane because he's spying for China.

It was a quick example. I'm just sick of Siege talking like the rest of the US should behave exactly like ex-pat Israeli Jew soldiers.

BTW, closet, thy name is Neil. :P

I believe it's just because people born in the US take a lot in their daily lives for granted.

Typical faggot-speak.  Anybody who opposes faggotry must secretly be a faggot themselves.

I hope you get stabbed and then eaten by lions.  Gay lions who fuck you in the stab wounds while they eat you.

Less "opposes faggotry" than tries to project their own sick BDSM gay fantasies on others. That's quite an imagination you've got, Neil.
