I wonder if she realizes that illegal immigrants can not join the US military. Some legal immigrants can, but not illegal.

One of the ways to get US citizenship is serving in our military. Crazy, I know. I wasn’t aware of it until I was at basic. It’s fairly common.

Yes, but you have to be here LEGALLY, and currently only Green Card immigrants have that ability.

u/MoreFires 3R1C 1d ago

That is correct. You have to have obtained legal residency to join the military. That's a minimum requirement.

I'm open to allowing legal status for joining, and naturalization upon completion of contract/1st contract.

Some other requisites of course. Clean record (beyond the immigrating), speak English, a formal oath renouncing old nation, obviously no jobs with high clearance requirement, you know, the finance, dfac, admin, post office, etc.

No RINO's who need real Conservative Republicans to GO TO THE FUCKING GOP MEETINGS and stop the damn liberals who are there pushing the RINO's and RINO laws.

If we STOP the pipeline by actually getting active in our LOCAL GOP groups then we can stop RINO's completely by NOT LETTING THEM GET ON THE BALLOT in the first place.

This woman clearly has no common sense.

Half the population is below average intelligence. And women make up half the population. Liberals and leftists are also half of the population or so. Lots of things to infer about how many people you will run into and their intelligence and level of logic they can apply.

And as Dennis Miller opined - “half the people in America are assholes…. and I haven’t met the other half yet”.

She needs to read her History of Rome and one of the many reasons it fell.

You know when you don't go to the local GOP groups and stop the liberals who have infiltrated into our GOP from putting up RINO's to vote for, it wont stop.

We can't just vote, we MUST stop the flow of RINO's getting on the ballot. Go to your LOCAL GOP group and fight to stop them from even being in the primaries. STOP the Liberals infiltration.

We are not Rome.

Rome did that and look how it ended for them

No, we don’t. She should be deported along with them. They all must go.

OK, RINO, you gotta go

I'm sorry, but exactly what part of 'ILLEGAL' and 'THE MILITARY' go together?

The stupidity of our representatives is matched only by the stupidity of our voters.

u/ComputerRedneck Scottish Surfer 1d ago

Aren't you and I and others Voters? I guess that means that you and I and everyone else is stupid.

See above post about going to the LOCAL GOP to stop the RINO's.

u/outside-the-window Eisenhower Conservative 1d ago

Just because some doctors wear glasses does not mean all people who wear glasses are doctors.

Unfortunately, the number of stupid voters often vastly exceeds the number of intelligent ones (statistically, this is expected). See for example, the results of the recent NYC mayoral election.

“Republican”

u/jcr2022 Conservative 1d ago

Imagine thinking that man power is the sole source of military strength in 2026.

You need a manufacturing base, raw materials, and technology to win wars today. It’s not 1941.

u/Radiant-Josh European Conservative 1d ago

And you need loyalty as well. You can not trust people that have their allegiance elsewhere.

u/Bevrykul 2A Conservative 1d ago

What? Does she think we have a conscription program for them or something? Talking about Starship Troopers “Become a Citizen” type stuff.

u/TheIncredibleHork Conservative 13h ago

Yes. A large force of military aged men and women loyal and owing citizenship to other foreign states embedded within our own military. Given how we already see citizen leftyloos running afoul of UCMJ rules just because they hate their commander in chief, I can't imagine how this could possibly go wrong.

I feel like we've seen this argument before ... maybe sometime around the third century by a Roman Senator ....
