    Are you for real, the whole “service guarantees citizenship” line isn’t from Starship Troopers, its from us. France, Australia, Canada, and many other first-world nations allow resident aliens to join their military as a path a citizenship. it’s a huge part of what attracts people to the armed forces and has been since literally the FOUNDING OF THE USA.

      Seems weird that you would let people from other countries fight in your military. Those other countries dont’t really, France has a Foreign Legion. Australia has only this hear allowed citizens from a few close Commonwealth countries.
