You guess??
Where does it say they're Americans? If you can answer the above, why are they identified as Iraqis?
And I dont know how you see things, but hyphinated Americans are playing games with their allegiance.

Great Quote. I’m going to steal it for my tagline! It can’t be repeated enough.
Read the other articles on this incident. They are indentified as Iraqi-Americans from Detroit. Since the vast majority of Americans from Iraq came here after 1991 I suspect that’s the case with them aswell.
I see no reason to doubt the patriotism of those six Iraqi-Americans. They assist our troops on important issues. Nowhere is it BTW said whether they are Muslims or Christians or anything else.
Americans hyphenated is to me a way to identify the background of Americans (whether Irish, German, Italian, Arab or whatever). It doesn’t have to mean double citizenship or double allegiance, while it admittedly can.
Please be so kind and show me what those six guys have done that leads you to question their allegiance. They train our Marines. Sounds good to me. There isn’t anything else we know about them.
