As a veteran I can empathize, but better questions come to mind:
Why are non-citizens allowed to serve in the military?
If our military is streched so thin that we're having to allow non-citizens to serve, why dont we reduce our military exposure to fit our mapower structure?
Military service does not give one special dispensation to violate the law.
And yet the Law will turn a blind eye so long as you can Kill or Be Killed in the name of the Dollar and Oil.
Funny how the Trumps and Bushs of the World Don't EVER Go SERVE THEIR FLOCKEN COUNTRY..... but they will surely send you, your kid and his illegal buddy to fight for THEIR country. And when they get back with missing limbs and Chemical caused illnesses from the shit they bomb with ..... they get LOW QUALITY health care or DEPORTED. Nice.... gotta love war if you own WAR STOCKs or OIL STOCKS.
