In Army boot camp, I served with a Russian emigre' who had been a Red Army draftee 10 years earlier. His MOS was medic.

I asked him why he he didn't choose linguist. He told me they told him he'd be a security risk.

Agreed. An illegal contract is not one to be honored.

This program should never have been implemented.

I served with a lot of immigrants and the vast majority of them were good Marines.
This guy and others did have a contract. A contract should mean something.

A Pakistani that grew up in China probably speaks 3 languages and he is pursuing a PhD in geography. He should not have trouble in the private sector. I hope him the best.

Being a paki national do suppose they turne up ties to frllow paki’s imran awan or huma abedin??

The Comments section is hysterical. No wonder the MSM is eliminating the Comments section to their papers.

Immigrant? He was here on a student visa? Send him home! Free up that seat for a US citizen.

We had an Iranian that could not deploy with us. He had been a lieutenant in the IRIAF. He had two death sentences . One for desertion and one for apostasy. His story about getting out of Iran was interesting.

As I recall a Key Fact to
The Fall of the Roman Empire was
No Romans in the Military.
It was all foreign contractors .

History repeating itself or another Barry - VJ project uncovered when these America haters gutted the Military .

“Zhao, 31, said his “ship out” date to basic training was delayed for two years as he underwent background checks, counterintelligence interviews and rigorous reviews added as requirements for immigrant enlistees.”

1) He was “DEP”, never completed BCT or actually served therefore the “misnomer” of Enlisted is being played fast and loose with here.

2) He cannot pass a Background Check and is treated as every other individual who cannot and not allowed to Serve.

3) The attempt in 2014 to tie DREAMERS into this program under the Obama Administration was successful therefore the previous administration is responsible for forcing thiese 40 out of 17,000 in the past two years to not complete their plan to enlist.


Just the latest distraction from the Russia/Separation/SCOTUS/etc. Crisis string. Never having Resolution is designed so that this Administration cannot continue it’s successes, because that would set Rinos&Rats up to fail in the Fall.

Think about a city having enough soldiers to control the land and seas they controlled. Then they spread and made more citizens. More soldiers. They had to give them land in most cases especially after significant victories.

By the 4th century they were paying off mercenaries to control the outer regions especially in north and eastern europe. That money couldn’t hold forever. Also more population in Germany and other places. The fall was inevitable.

One way t understand the fall is to look at europe today. If 5 countries with armies aligned against Italy could they control all of europe?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I was an immigrant with an Alien Registration Card AKA a green card and enlisted during Nam but back then we were thoroughly vetted BEFORE we were accepted to immigrate...BEFORE we ever entered the country...we were already qualified to serve in the military...

Male immigrants were eligible to be drafted and were...many of them...

these are probably people that Obama let in who were not really eligible to immigrate at all...let alone serve..

now when they try to enlist they cant pass the security clearance requirements or they did enlist before 2017 and now they have gotten caught as ineligible..for a security clearance and probably to even be in our country...

The US gov goes back to the original country for info for those sec clearances...double checks all info given by the immigrant..all my info was rechecked when I entered the military...I almost got held over at Lackland ...

actually I ended up with a secret clearance...

Hopefully these Obama “immigrants” will be deported...

BTW you notice none of these “immigrants” appear to be from a Western country...no Aussies, no Brits, No NZers...

Funny that security screenings should be mentioned.My personal attitude is that every Chinese/Hong Kong/Macau citizen in the US is a spy...either economic or military.

Some may not be willing spies.Some may be approached by Chinese officials and told "get us the info we want...we know where your parents/grandparents live".

Very insightful comments.
A relative who retired from the Pentagon intelligence
says the exact same thing.

They are counseled by the Govt when they leave and given
a choice and are updated regularly .
All the US University systems are neck deep in Chinese spies .
