I thought the military was meeting recruiting goals with little problem.

Of course, the Boston Globe is a mite prejudice.

Why don't we just start with some billets first. I would have stayed in past 20 if they had an E8 and E9 billet for me.....

This quote sourced to Lieutenant Colonel Bryan Hilferty, may explain why they are making their recruiting goals.
That has led Pentagon officials to consider casting a wider net for noncitizens who are already here, said Lieutenant Colonel Bryan Hilferty , an Army spokesman.
I wouldn't write this off as slanted journalism. The following quote from the article shows that at least the American Enterprise Institute is looking at it.
"It works as a military idea and it works in the context of American immigration," said Thomas Donnelly , a military scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute in Washington and a leading proponent of recruiting more foreigners to serve in the military.
