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.

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.
