He was brought to this country as a four-year-old. No choice about that, hoss. When he turns 18 he joins the Army. He lies to do it, but so did Audie Murphy (as another poster pointed out). Then he *volunteers* to go to Iraq and join his unit -- which is being shot at. Then he does his job well for the length of his deployment -- which includes standing guard duty in Indian country. That ain't "just serving." He did not steal anything, either.

And *you* want to kick him out of this country?

He has earned the privilege of staying. At least until his hitch is up. And if he has no black marks by then, why yes, I would feel it appropriate to grant him citizenship. That is how my grandpappy got his -- five months in combat with the 36th Infantry during WWI.
