So what you're saying is that they're legal immigrants, not yet U.S. citizens, and if they join the U.S. military they get citizenship? That's kinda f**ked up. I mean, first of all, it seems like a nice loophole for terrorists. Second of all, it's kind of like blackmail, and you could also see it as being very mercenary-like (except instead of cash they get citizenship).
Then again, we're also talking about a country (the U.S.) where you can join the military at 17 but can't vote until 18 and can't drink until 21...
