Oops!
September 25, 2014:
A small number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. will have an opportunity to join the military for the first time in decades under a new Department of Defense policy unveiled Thursday.

The new rules will expand an existing program allowing recruiters to target foreign nationals with high-demand skills, mostly rare foreign language expertise or specialized health care training.

For the first time, the program — known as Military Accessions in the National Interest, or MAVNI — will be open to immigrants without a proper visa if they came to the U.S. with their parents before age 16. More specifically, they must be approved under a 2012 Obama administration policy known as Deferred Action for Child Arrivals, or DACA.

I didn't see the word "Conscripted" anywhere in the message you posted. You may have missed it, but you aren't actually responding to his point.

If you were actually responding to his point, the word "conscripted" or something verbiage equivalent, would have to be included in your rebuttal.

So how about you respond to the Indian Citizenship thing? We hung em, we jailed em, and we fined em, but they weren't citizens.

I take this to mean that subject to our laws does not mean the same thing as "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the context of the 14th amendment.
