When the destroyer USS Mustin docks in Cambodia next week it will be more than just a routine mission for the ship's commander.
Michael Misiewicz is Cambodian by birth and was just a child when he was wrenched from his family and homeland 37 years ago, to be sent away from the country to escape the civil war with the Khmer Rouge.
He has not set foot on Cambodian soil since.
He is a fine symbol of America.
When you consider Commander Misiewicz's uplifting story, also reflect on this breathing piece of garbage who also fled civil war to find refuge here only to seek an opportunity to kill Americans.
We're a land of opportunity. It just depends on what opportunities you seek.
