These servicemen earned US citizenship. But that does not mean (Bush, McCain and others) that the 14 - 20 million illegal aliens in the US are also entitled to citizenship.

“go take a nap. This is not a Border-rant thread.”

You shouldn’t take a nap, or you’ll miss Bush or McCain using this as justification for granting amnesty to all illegals.

It’s been done often before. You must have missed McCain in a debate giving as a reason for not deporting illegals the ONE illegal alien mother of an MIA in Iraq.

But the open borders/amnesty crowd loves your attitude.

You must be a legal permanent resident of this country, i.e., a green card holder, to join the military. If you serve, there is an expedited pathway to citizenship. It is the option of the individual to become a citizen or remain an LPR. Serving in the military does not “earn” one citizenship, it just speeds up the process.
