I wasn’t aware that illegals could enlist in the military of the U.S. I have two stepsons who are Russian nationals. Both are in the U.S. Army (one a Combat Medic in Iraq). They had to have a Green Card to prove legal residency before they could enlist. They can already apply for a cost-free U.S. citizenship without the DREAM nightmare.
Looks like these words have been added for the stupid public to get sympathy as well as votes.
When I was in the Navy back in the early 70’s Phillipinos could join without being a resident. They could join in Manila. And it seemed most of them were Stewards.
