"I was under the impression that you HAD to be a US citizen in order to serve in our armed forces."

Amazingly, you don't! I knew this before, but it still surprises me. Of course it can HELP you become a citizen, but I didn't understand the part where he said the man had helped defend America for 26 years, I mean how old is this guy? Has he been in the Marines for 26 years and never became a citizen? I think that part got messed up, it was very unclear.

I was under the impression that you HAD to be a US citizen in order to serve in our armed forces.

My ex-wife came to the US from Mexico at the age of 14, not speaking a single word of English. She graduated as valedectorian of her senior high school class and went to Texas A&M on a volleyball scholarship. She enlisted in the Army and served as an MP and was in Desert Storm.

She still speaks with a Salma Hayek accent, but refuses to speak Spanish unless it is absolutely necessary. Carly became a citizen not long after her enlistment was over. While she is a complete and total bitch, she is also one of the truest and proudest Americans I know.

The immigrants willing to serve in our military have never been the ones who are a problem.
