  1. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY AMERICA CAN GET BODIES TO GO COMMIT TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE REST OF THE WORLD!!! BECAUSE AMERICANS ARE DONE WITH AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND NOT PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE TO DO AMERICAS DIRTY DEEDS๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ช

  2. Wow! Iโ€™m so happy that all these wonderful service members are now OFFICIALLY my countrymen!!! Bless them all!

  3. Theyโ€™re doing what most born โ€œAmericansโ€ will never do in their lives. Thank you for your service.๐Ÿซก ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  4. Any person can apply for U.S. citizenship after 5 years of being a legal resident. Joining the military is just a shortcut. Nothing against it. Wonder if the military still recruiting undocumented high school students that have talent, who grew up in this country, to join the services?

  5. And Joe Biden has let in millions of illegal immigrants who will fade into the shadows and not swear allegiance to our country! They will just leech off government programs (aka the taxpayers!).

  6. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŽธ

  7. Well deserved ๐Ÿ‘

  8. Just like the Roman Empire when they started bringing mostly outsiders for their military like barbarians and mercenaries.

  9. All they had to do was come through the open southern border illegally. They would've gotten citizenship much faster that way. God save the queen.

  10. But the great replacement is just a conspiracy theory right?

  11. That is a amazing sight in uniform protecting the country they serve and now are citizens welcome dear citizens ๐Ÿ˜Š

  12. I hate NBC with a passion but this was a good story. Those service members are more American and represent the ideals of Americans more than most natural born citizens do today. Congratulations.

  13. Republicans:"Oh No! Aliens woke invades in Our Army!

  14. Meanwhile an influx of Chinese nationals flood over the border to who knows where

  15. Iโ€™m proud that they are willing to serve in the US military but they should have been an American before even being enlisted. But I guess to help prevent a draft with this new working day an age where no one wants to work, I guess now America is employing non us citzens and speeding there documents to become a us citizen by enrolling them into the military. Low blow America

  16. John Lee is a professional killer

  17. John Lee from Hong Kong is a professional killer

  19. The rapper name big pokey

  20. I was at a retirement seminar and the speaker spoke on how he quit his job after he made well over $950,000 PROFIT within 3months he invested $120,000. I need guidance on what investments to make.๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€

  21. I would AWOL. I would not fight for President Trump who got five draft deferments.
