A 26-year-old off-duty U.S. soldier who had crossed over from El Paso, Texas, was among the dead, army spokesman Enrique Torres said.
“It appears drugs were being sold at the place,” Torres said of the strip joint. “The hitmen went directly for their victims, no one else.”
This is from the story itself. If the reporting is accurate I note 2 things 1) the gunmen went after specific people so the soldier was being targeted even though in mufti. 2) The army refers to him as a US Soldier not as an AMERICAN CITIZEN you don’t have to be a citizen to be in the service. What if this guy was just a mule for the wrong folks? Just asking
“. 2) The army refers to him as a US Soldier not as an AMERICAN CITIZEN you don’t have to be a citizen to be in the service. “
Interesting point. Since 9/11, we’ve have 52,000 soldiers serving who were NOT US citizens. Some of them have killed our US citizen military, many others are gangbangers.
“An executive order signed in 2002 allows foreign-born members of the U.S. military serving on or after September 11, 2001, to become immediately eligible for U.S. citizenship - an expedited way for those troops to become full Americans.”
