I seem to remember one other great nation using non-citizens for their army. Oh yeah now I remember it was the Roman Empire. How did that work out for them? Will the Marine motto change from Semper-Fidelis now become Semper-Da mihi. (From always faithful to always give me)

I'd take a couple of brigades of Gurkha's and Sikh warriors any day of the week.

Then I'd turn 'em loose.
