snip of article:

The U.S. military has kicked out more than 500 immigrant recruits over the past 12 months, the Associated Press (AP) has found, including recruits from Brazil, China, and Iran who were promised a fast path to citizenship in exchange for their skills and service, but have now been “devastated by their unexpected discharges or canceled contracts.”


When the government is funneling nearly $500 million in one year to a single company to help detain immigrant children, it clearly has all the resources it needs to not boot recruits who were willing to put their lives on the line for the U.S. And yet, here we are.



Funneling money to a single company????? Who can this be???

1. And less than 25% of 18 to 25 year olds qualify to serve

Cuz Americans are too FAT.

2. Having been and out

I met a lot of good troops way back when. Different backgrounds.

When someone steps forward to swear an oath, and then some arsehole (not what a first sergeant would say) pulls the rug out from under them because they are culturally different.

This country is founded on immigrants.

Folks become citizens of our country through different means. Personally, I believe the best method the citizenship is what works for you.
