I think resident aliens have been allowed to join our military for a long time.

During the Cold War era, my dad went through basic training with a number of
other recruits that he is sure were Phillipino nationals.

A few months ago, I heard a caller to talk radio (The Hugh Hewitt Show?) say that
his immigrant father had served in WWI so that he could attain US citizenship five years
faster than under regular procedure.
