      AFAIK, it is a faster means to obtain naturalized citizenship and always has been. You have to have a green card when you join and you get fasttracked after a year of honorable service.

      I may be wrong, but that is what some people I know said that was their plan and I know my former boss got his citizenship after playing in the cat box for a few years like 15 years ago.

          I believe that. I mean the military hasn’t always been the most honest in holding up their end of the deal, like ever. Add to that the current admin of the last 12 years and it comes as no surprise that they would fuck around with immigrants serving in the military naturalizing.
