<Ike, you sly dog.> You are a cute puppy, I hope 'now sitting' that I changed your alibi or you may be use to aka or so that your alibi or aka becomes less 'libido prone' and less sexy.. <send your children>

On my kids? Your facts are incorrect.I definitely will not overlook your question..
Combat jobs require a green card minimum, since they are highly educated they would be looking for jobs as commissioned officers, they cannot qualify to secure positions in the fields of intelligence or military police. Only citizens can qualify to become commissioned or warrant officers, or serve in special warfare programs such as the Marine Recon or Navy Seals.

Immigrants are locked out of these types of MOS's because they cannot get a security clearance — restricted to U.S.-born and naturalized citizens only.
Appointment Standards:
The candidate must be a U.S. citizen


On jobs in US Army kindly note this, you need a minimum of US green card
Opportunities are rare for a non U.S. Citizen. But in the Locations outside of the Continental US in which the Corps has an office Local Nationals are hired. Click on the Locations to work and take note of the servicing Operating/Advisory Personnel Office for that area.

From the look of it ‘now sitting’ your frontlines like British front lines in second world war are swelling with colored ranks, three more colored would make no difference.

DOD statistics indicate that Latinos, though still slightly underrepresented in the armed forces overall (they make up 9.5 percent of active forces and 13 percent of the U.S. population), are over-represented on the front lines with 17.7 percent. As of August 28, Latinos show a casualty rate of more than 13 percent. In fact, one of the first casualties of the Iraq "conflict" was a U.S. soldier named Jose Gutierrez, an orphaned Guatemalan who was not even an American citizen. From the looks of it is poverty more than anything else that people flee to find army jobs, I hate to bring families and kids into it but from the look of it appears that Latinos and Black parents take their job of sacrifice more seriously than anyone else now. So you ‘now sitting’ don’t worry about other peoples sacrifices, you most probably are not represented proportionately. The DOD statistics imply African Americans make up a disproportionate 21 percent of total armed forces, including 15 percent of combat troops and 29 percent of the U.S. Army, while making up only 12 percent of the general population.

Charles Barron, a Brooklyn council member renowned for his outspoken views about black and Latino youth in the armed forces, told Newsday, "I don't want to hear about statistics and the disproportionate numbers . . . the main reason that people of color join the military is to escape poverty.
