Eligible recruits are required to have legal status in the U.S., such as a student visa, before enlisting.
The DOD put out a statement a couple weeks ago. The foreigners failed background checks. Some cheated or lied on the immigration process, some lied about their credentials, and some had undisclosed criminal activity or unacceptable associations in the old country. Some were flat out plants by foreign governments. This program screams to the world for plants. Looks like standards are about to lowered to ensure foreigners succeed. Maybe some lies or fraud will be now be acceptable.
Total fake news.
They weren’t discharging immigrants, it was made up.
These are not immigrants, green card holders have always been eligible to enlist.
Illegal aliens have always been barred from enlisting, until the illegal Kenyanesian Usurper illegally allowed some to illegally enlist.
The Trump administration is trying to restore the rule of law.
Marshall Williams, kinda who I thought he was and a sgt. in charge of “manpower.”
The Army is failing to meet its recruiting and retention goals.
This is a 25 meter target stop the bleeding exercise, for now.
The bigger question is why is the Army now failing to meet these goals?
Trump economy, and who wants to deal with the freak show the military has allowed itself to become? I know I wouldn’t.
The implied premise is that the immigrant program recruits are the target. The reality is a recruit has to meet a minimum standard. I think the attrition of my basic training class was close to 50%. If it is about enlistment paper work the recruit only needs to not sign anything and resist expulsion.
