  There's nothing about Trump even in the article. You guys are losing it!

Maybe you should read the article before accusing people of losing because Trump is not mentioned.  From the OP article 

 

"The Trump Administration added even more hurdles, creating a backlog within the Defense Department. Last fall, hundreds of recruits still in the enlistment process had their contracts canceled. A few months later, the military suspended MAVNI."

The stable genius trait is rubbing off on the maga'ters. The all now play 3d chess and get that the connection between the Donald and Fringe right behavior is hanging in the wings for any story.

Another MDL that did not read the article

As opposed to the kumbaya tactics of the left that assume every absurdity is promoting equality and diversity? 

 

It's amazing that so many people are willing to sacrifice so muvh for their liberalism, why do they expect so many others to sacrifice equally despite differing beliefs and convictions

I had a customer walk up to me Saturday . I explained to him that the guy beside me was next in line and civility dictated he be the one to help him.

Check this. When I said civility, he went into a sputtering cursing rage about no civility in this country since Trump elected and had a mini meltdown.  The guy was so unhinged and angry it was scary. Now thats funny right there.

  Took you 3 days to come up with that? I'm not sure you read the article either.

3 days is well within the sarcastic reply  availability window.

 

and you know I would never comment or post without reading an article in its entirety

The US Military allows non US citizens who have never set foot in the USA to join, depending on what country you are from.

 

My wife Uncle joined the US Navy many years ago, he lived in Philippines and he had never been to the USA, he retired as a US Citizen and all his kids are US Citizens living in Philippines, he get a very large retirement check each month and has a house in a private subdivision in Philippines that is pretty impressive that sits on about 2 acres.

 

My brother in law from Palau joined the US Military a couple years ago, he had never set foot in the USA, they sent him to basic training in North Carolina area......

The Pentagon stopped allowing Phillipinos to join the Navy some time ago. http://articles.latimes.com/1992-02-27/local/me-3911_1_filipino-sailors

The vast majority of these guys haven't even been to Basic training yet so yes technically they are enlisted but in reality they have not gone through boot camp yet so they aren't enlisted.

I am a bit late to the conversation but you hit the nail on the head !!! These guys are not yet members of the armed forces despite what they would like to think and what their lawyers claim. 

 

One could argue that it is not their fault that they can not serve because it takes so long to be done with the process, but still, either you are serving or you are not.
