I served with others that weren’t citizens. But then they did come here legally. So I guess that’s the difference.
I have two stepsons. Both were Russian citizens and LEGAL immigrants when they entered the U.S. Both enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Iraq. One as a Combat Medic the other as a Combat Engineer. Both got their U.S. citizenship while serving. I am very proud of them.
its a different world. Service needs to be viewed as a job as well these days. Haven’t we allowed enough jobs to go around the world as it is?
