More than 20,000 military personnel have become U.S. citizens since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to the Pentagon. Another 5,000 have applications pending for citizenship, with that process being expedited for military members, shortening the wait from about nine months to 60 days. There are still about 30,000 active duty and 11,000 Guard and Reserve personnel in the military who are not U.S. citizens, according to Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel David Chu. He testified Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee on personnel issues facing the military.

I've read reports that our military actually advertises for recruits in places like south america. george washington who did not believe in 'empire' would cry over it.
I'd love to see an advert for that. I'm thinkin' the neocons need this foreign army to do the dirty work that will be required when the domestic sheeple wake up and are sent to prison.
Exactly.. awhile back I read a survey of soldiers and they were asked something about using force domestically.. and the majority said they wouldn't be able to do so.. a foreign national would have little problem with it.. IMO.
