He has not renounced his citizenship, or anything like that.

What came out in the interview was that he was born in Vietnam and came to the US when he was six months old. I would have been hard pressed to identify where he was from based on listening to him, as he has absolutely no accent. According to him, he got into trouble when he was a teenager. He did not elaborate on what kind of trouble he go into. Since that time, he has grown into an adult. He has served six years in the Marine Corp (I can't remember the rank but it was not at the bottom; he has earned some promotions). After his initial six years, he has served another six years in the Reserves, and now he is stationed on the Iraqi border in Kuwait. The interview was in one of the Marine's quarter tents in Kuwait -- they hold about 40 guys and there were other Marines seen inside the then at the time.

He stated that the INS, because of his previous trouble as a teenager has told him he does not have the moral character to be a citizen. Meanwhile, the Marine Corps obviously believes that he has the moral character to be an officer. He was just hoping that someone would see the interview and take up the cause so that he could become a US citizen. Regardless of whether or not that happens, he assured Fox News that he was there to do a job as a Marine and to protect the USA.

he does not have the moral character to be a citizen.

Did they confuse him with Clinton?

Sounds to me like he has EARNED the right to BE an American Citizen. I agree with Bluecollarman. If he is good enough to serve in the Marines, and is a soldier in good standing.. he deserves citizenship! Sheesh.. this is crazy!

If he recieved an Honorable discharge from the Active Duty Marines then his prior "indiscretion" should be ignored. To me a honorable discharge and graduation from USMC boot camp is a much better indication of character.
