Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific. This part of your post is what I wanted a link about:

(QUOTE) Right now every branch except the Army has MORE applicants than they need soldiers for...in other words every branch except the Army is TURNING PEOPLE AWAY.

Where do you guys get this crap? Our military is not at it’s breaking point and where do they get the, “U.S. hurrying to make illegal aliens legal because of some critical crises bullcrap?
Moonbats expose themselves more everyday with this unbelievable crap…

When I was going to join last summer--there was like a year wait at the Navy and Airforce. The guy told me they were 110% filled.

Do you have or are you pursuing a degree?

Excercise in reality: summate number of Native American extract servicepeople and subtract from total service populus. What remains is immigrant servicemen and women in the US Armed forces. As some people have already alluded to, the semantics revolve around the legality of their status. I personally suggest that this is better approached when it can be assured that they manage to return back to this country on the second occassion, rather than arrive on the first.

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you are saying at all.

I am sorry. My grammar, syntax and spelling is atrocoious. It' simple really. The USA has a reputation of being built almost exclusively upon an immigrant population. As this is still propounded today, it would be wrong to say that the US Armed forces was recruiting outside its borders (if this is true), for it has no borders - other than physical ones.

The point is, for a nation built in its entirety not upon hereditary influences, but upon an ethos, it really is no import that recruits to serve in the US military come from outside, especially when there has never been an inside. If it is still required to address whethere these lucky volunteers have a permanent future in the US, would it not be more appropriate to let them serve and see if they come back alive first?
