They can and do. Permanent resident aliens were subject to the draft (subject to certain treaties with foreign countries, notably Switzerland, viz. the Moser case http://supreme.justia.com/us/341/41/case.html ) and have always been eligible to enlist. Expedited naturalization is available to them.\n\nFilipinos before 1946 and other noncitizen nationals (today that refers only to inhabitants of American Samoa and Swains Island) served in the US Forces. Until 1991 Filipinos could serve in the US Navy. http://www.inq7.net/opi/2003/jul/20/opi_rjfarolan-1.htm\n\nOnce enlisted (only US citizens can be commissioned officers) an alien national can be sent to serve anywhere, subject to limitations posed by the absence of a security clearance. (Thus s/he could not work in intelligence, or as a U.S. Marine Security Guard at an embassy.)\n\nWhile military service can hasten naturalization, it does not normally afford immigration rights. (For what it's worth, the French Foreign Legion likewise requires that candidates for enlistment already be legally in the country.)\n\nIn addition to aliens who are members of the US Forces, several foreign countries (most notably Britain) are still members of the so-called "coalition of the willing" and have troops in Iraq that, while not necessarily integrated with the US Forces, may work and fight alongside them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_force_in_Iraq (Wiki)

I forgot the name for the act (posse commo tas? I think), but you can't use US troops to police the cities unless martial law is declared.  I am a Solider and I don't want to have to be the police or police our own cities.  We don't have an Army to protect us form ourselves.  My oath is to defend the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic and to the Constitution.  Not to police the streets.  We are trained to fight wars, not to be police.  You would not want the mentality of a warfighter to respond to a domestic disturbance, not a good combo.

Yes, Everyone dies, some things are worth fighting for, and a Higher percentage of Iraqis want us in Iraq than Americans.\n\nTo all those who "support the troops but not the war"\n\nWe do not want your support, so please shut up and stop undermining our operations.

France ~ Enlist in the French Foriegn, under any alias name ~ and upon receiving a Honorable Discharge ~ you will be granted French citizenship.  \n\nEnlisting in the United States military is not an automatic path to American citizenship ~ at the beginning of the current war ~ it was discussed ~ but thus far ~ citizenship has only been granted post-humanously to certain members of the American military.  Although service in the American military ~ could and would certainly grease the immigaration skids toward full citizenship

The United States military does not target civilians intentionally. Thats what the terrorist do! And yes there was terrorists there before we took Iraq. To be an "Insurgent" you must be a member of a political party. What political party do the so called "Insurgents" belong to? Answer, none! The terrorist hide behind the innocent! If you cant figure that out, your in need of an EDUCATION DEVOID OF LIBERALISM! Would I send my son there? If he wanted to go then I would support him. I can't force him to do anything. He will have to make that choice on his own.

Dear Dude:\nFirst learn about the following facts and then talk about democracy. \n\nThe transnational companies which are using American government and ARMY to sip oil from Iraq are paying back with the money they have earned by selling the oil they have been continuously stealing from Iraq. They will do the same in Iran and Venezuella.\n\nYou won't believe it but some transnational companies are there to force the Yahoo Corp. to delete my questions here. But I am continuously changing my name to hide it from them. Until they find me, thousands of people will have learned that America is no more controlled by its national companies. Transnational companies are a great threat both for America and the world. A transnational company is one that feels no loyalty to any nation. They don’t pay any taxes to any government and they are strong enough to overthrow governments all over the world. For the time being they are using Americans. They threat America by the fact that if they draw their capital and investments from America 25 % of its population will be jobless. \n\nThe fight and the tension between the members of the Senate is in fact a fight between the American and non-American capital owners. Right after the 9/11 the nationalistic or loyal American capital owners became a little bit stronger and passed a decree from the senate to the effect that the central government and the states are to buy their weapons from NATIONAL war industries... But at present non-American capital owners have become stronger enough to sip petroleum out of Iraq by using American ARMY. This is the horrible fact about American Politics and Bush is not loyal to America.\n\nSorry for the terrible English. Wish you prosperity and happiness. I am a mere warrior to enlighten people about facts.… Yes, they are my facts. But believe me they aren’t groundless.

Nothing, US will not go to war with N. Korea.  It's military is much stronger than Iran and Iraq combined and there is nothing to gain in that land.  What I think the US will do is to negotiate and work closely with UN. If that doesn't work out, I strongly doubt we will go to war with N. Korea.

I don't think any illegals would just go there and enlist if they may get busted and taken out, but at this time there is something like that for people that enlisted and served the armed forces in previous wars by lying to the government about their immigration status... it was possible at that time cause the tracking system wasn't as good as it is know and soldiers where needed, but I assure you that many will go and fight for the country if you just give them resident status, citizenship won't even be necessary...

Don't join.  Every job from office clerk to mechanic can be sent to where the combat is.  Just because you aren't in an infantry unit doesn't mean the terrorists won't be trying to kill you.  Wearing the uniform isn't about looking good; it's about defending a way of life.  Don't feel bad if this is not for you.  There are other ways to be patriotic without fighting.  Just being a good citizen and not breaking the law shows that you want something better for your country.

Canada has refused to send troops to Iraq (for many reasons). Canada also has many immigrants from the middle east. Canadians are ususally not as endangered in foreign countries because they have not been involved in a war since WW2, so Americans passing as Canadians think they are safer.

No. The Costitution doesn't protect people (probably) who aren't US citizens. Since Iraqis don't have US citizenship, we can do anything we want to them without violating the Constitution.\n\nHowever, imposing our type of government on them might be unethical or just plain stupid.

If he wants to apply for a Japanese citizenship first.  Here in the US an immigrant, legal immigrant, can join the US military without being a US citizen.  I was led to believe that it is so as long as the non-citizen declares his intentions to become one although I have known non US citizens who served in the US military and got out of the service without getting US citizenship.

You must be a permanent legal resident of the United States..as in a Green Card Holder.  You can not enlist in any branch of the military without being a Green Card Holder.  The military cannot and will not assist you in getting to the United States nor can they help with INS/ICE paperwork

Let us give them a taste of American/British citizenship.  Let's invite them to join the army or marines and go to Iraq and fight for the country they wish to live in.  If they live, we'll give them citizenship.  If they die, then we will give them a hero's burial.

This is not a UN venture. This is an American war fought by several other countries who are now leaving us there.
