See my post above. I have wiggle room (to a small degree) for Legal Immigrants, but I still don’t like it. I do keep in mind that I served with people who had taken this path (several Filipinos) and they were fine. I just think things have changed in the world since that time.
Did not even know that a foreign national could join the American Armed Forces until a few years ago.
Handy way for another government to get our troop movements.
