Searched and didn't see anything on this
The Hill Article
There better be a damn good reason for discharging someone who wants to earn their citizenship through military service.

Immigration attorneys told the AP that they knew of more than 40 immigrant recruits and reservists who had been discharged from their service or whose status is now at question.

Some of the military members told the AP that they did not know why they were discharged. Others said they were told they were labeled a “security risk” because of relatives abroad or because their background checks were incomplete.

This seems like complete bullshite. Excuse me while I wait on real journalism.

Wouldn’t risky relatives and incomplete background checks be exactly the people that you would generally be checking the brakes on with most of the extended screening trump advocates for? (Not trying to politicize that- just noting that tightening screening likely means folks have more hurdles to get to service too)

We should patiently wait for more to come of this story.

Article is lazy and half assed.
How exactly did these guys get let in to the military with “incomplete” background checks? Is this a diversity initiative?
Progressives in 2018: BACKGROUND CHECKS to buy a gun!
Also progressives in 2018: republicans are racist for requiring complete background checks to be issued an M4.

There is a damn good reason and it was stated in the article. Background checks were incomplete. Typical Odumbo muslim BS. Let those rat bastards infiltrate all levels of the military and our government. That muslim bastard Odumbo should be hung for treason.

Not saying this is the case for all of these people but gang problems within DOD are real.
quote:
President George W. Bush ordered “expedited naturalization” for immigrant soldiers in 2002 in an effort to swell military ranks. Seven years later the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest program, known as MAVNI, became an official recruiting program.
It came under fire from conservatives when President Barack Obama added DACA recipients — young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally — to the list of eligible enlistees. In response, the military layered on additional security clearances for recruits to pass before heading to boot camp.

You're assuming that all of those being discharged are muslims?

We have plenty of Americans who can serve in the American military.

The service members affected by the recent discharges all enlisted in recent years under a special program aimed at bringing medical specialists and fluent speakers of 44 sought-after languages into the military. The idea, according to the Defense Department, was to “recognize their contribution and sacrifice.”

I don't disagree with this - we do have plenty that can but they aren't willing to enlist.
Everyone here has screamed come here legally...why do people have a problem with immigrants coming here legally and serving the country before gaining full citizenship?

No. I am assuming that the Obama administration did the same thing with our military that it did with every other government institution. If they didn't affirmative action the shite out of it, they weaponized it against their political opponents. You frickers better get your head out of the sand and realize that the Obama administration was the most CORRUPT in history and we will be rooting out that bastards handy work for decades. That shitstain HATED America and tried his best to destroy it!

All of this.

Apparently, from the article, most if not all of these HAVE NOT SHIPPED for basic training. It is not uncommon for a security clearance to take months on a renewal, so I am betting these take much longer and things popped up that made these folks unable to get a clearance...
Bless their hearts and send their butts back...

Because service in the military is a right?

That number is dwindling. We're at a point to where we're recruiting the least amount of people than ever before. Most of the problems recruiters face today with a decreasing amount of eligible enlistees stems from medical issues, mental health issues, prior drug use, obesity, and criminal history.
That and a lot of kids nowadays don't have the sack to let go of mom's tit and make decisions for themselves.
