US Soldier who just became US citizen: "I’m able to vote next year for Obama, or maybe Hillary"

We Pledge Allegiance...



<snip>

After the ceremony there was cake served at the base’s dining facility, which is known as the “D-Fac.” Pfc. Willex Saintril (who said “no way” did he ever think he’d end up in Iraq) said he felt very good about being an American citizen. Originally from Haiti, he said today’s swearing-in was another story he looked forward to bringing home from the field. The best part about being a U.S. citizen? “I’m able to vote next year for Obama,” he said. “Or maybe Hillary.” Seeing as the next American president will have a lot to do with where and for how long Saintril is stationed next, that’s a pretty good reason to celebrate.

1. Is that Saintril in the picture?
If so, does his mom know he is not in school?



Just kidding. but seriously, he looks young.
