You want to be a citizen? Buy high-end NYC real estate. So here's a fun wrinkle on "Extreme Vetting" and the New Cruelty: The Pentagon recruited a whole bunch of foreign-born people to fill specialties that U.S.-born soldiers just aren't prepared for. It would save time and money on training, and as an incentive, the recruits' applications for citizenship would be fast-tracked. But then we all got terrified about terrorists, so the Pentagon decided it had to much more carefully screen all those recruits, many of whom hadn't yet actually entered the military, to make sure the recruits weren't terrorists. But the resulting backlog in screening led a lot of those recruits to overstay their visas while waiting to actually get a military assignment. So now that they're illegal immigrants and there are so many people waiting for screening, the Pentagon may just call the whole program off and maybe even help Homeland Security deport the folks who are now in the country illegally. Because of the Pentagon's delays.
The classic case being the M-1 tanks the Army does not want more of, TYVM, but Ohio-4 has been Republican since 1938 and they gotta make sure it stays that way.
I'd think the US military wouldn't be too picky about who they hire, especially in such important jobs. But I should've known better, considering we've been down a similar road before: http://www.threepanelsoul.c...
I have a friend. He's now a superannuated outlaw biker. Born in Brazil? Argentina? I forget... but he was in the Marines in 'Nam, in combat, and they tried to screw him then.
snazzier uniforms, too.

Hell, it'd cost less than paying for Donnie Two Scoops' three-day weekends.
"Hey! Listen!"
Great move: train soldiers, then piss them off. Time tested rightwing method: worked with Bin Laden.
At a cursory glance this is what happens when the senior levels of the chain of command are all kinds of fucked up when they write policy.
The end result are stupid and conflicting policies that have to be enforced.
As it ever was.
We wouldn't be having this problem if we'd gone with Hessians.

I think all these apply: SNAFU, FUBAR, and the less familiar FUBB (Fucked up beyond belief.)
