I’m pretty sure he should have been required to provide proof of citizenship some time before he was commissioned, depending on his commissioning source. For example, I’m pretty sure I had to provide my birth certificate as part of my application to West Point. It was 20 years ago, but I’ll bet I had to provide it again at least once or twice. I would assume one must do the same when applying for ROTC or OCS, at least before commissioning.
If not then, then one would think his answer to the citizenship question on his security questionnaire would have been run down by DIA.
Foreign born, was or is the father (mother died) naturalized citizen. How was it he was allowed into the US as a Soviet Ukrainian in 1979-— very much the Cold War. The twin sons (both in the Army and both now at National Security Council, interestingly)— were 4 years old in 1979.
The requirements for a foreign born person to be allowed into our military— there is the question- a condition of “employment” being background security checks and clearances, updated. The presence of both of the twins inside the WH has the smell of the “long view” approach of Soviet KGB, FSB, GRU et cetera.
This guy’s “concern” about “bipartisan” support for the Ukraine-— would NOT be a “National Security” concern or priority— for US foreign policy. It would be a “concern” that the US aid continue to fund the dirty Russian/Ukrainian politics peeling off their percentage (corrupt) and in the case of the obamaumao pro russian democrats— getting their laundered “kickback” payoffs. Whole thing stinks, and should be shot down, including this guy’s “talking to others” about a classified phone call— he should be over with and under prosecution for that. And his brother needs a real good examination (his russian “handler”) and/or his dad.
