Opinion | What US military needs is an infusion of immigrants
MY SAY: Whoa, there, Padnah! No problem with a percentage of recruits being non-citizens, but the road to citizenship through military service should be just that, not a superhighway.

We should not complain about US forces offering citizenship for honorable military service. French Foreign Legion already does that.

French citizenship in the French Foreign Legion | Legionstories
This is how one can obtain the French citizenship in the French Foreign Legion. Some people think that it's automatic after 5 years, but it isn't...

Not really a complaint, per se, but a caution. The French Foreign Legion is a separate, professional group of badasses. The United States armed forces must be first an effective, efficient and professional fighting force capable of immense lethality on the battlefield. It should NOT be a conveyor belt to citizenship.

Behind a paywall. The headline is intriguing, would like to know the arguments. This is one of those where the headline just leaves away too broad of a possibility for substance for me to reasonably assert an opinion on the story.
