(with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
N.B. It does NOT state military and diplomatic service MUST be performed and included in this time, only that they CAN be INCLUDED in the 5 years total.
It says “with” and not “or”.
Meaning including or in addition.
For example,
“This must be WITH A, B and C”
“Which is the answer? A, B OR C?”
That’s the way it works. We see it all the time, but do not think about it.
Just look up the definition of “With”.
