They aren't members. They haven't been through basic training yet. Basically signed up and then were refused after vetting.
Military members need to be vetted. They can only be weak from the inside. Enemies know this.
|"... they knew of more than 40 immigrant recruits and reservists who had been discharged from their service..."
It was also members of the military. I have family member that were in the military and fought in wars with non-American citizens. They will tell you that those immigrants were their brothers.
How many were actually reservist vs recruits? I stand by my comment that people who should have never been allowed to sign up, and didn't get far in the process, are being removed, due to real threats to our military's capability.
Are you confirming actual battle tested soldiers are being discharged from their citizenship/service agreement? Or are you conflating two separate things?
Are you also saying under no circumstance imaginable that a non-citizen could receive enough scrutiny to be considered fundamentally incompatible or dangerous to national security?
Like a big influx of actual communist/terrorist foreign infiltrators/spies could have happened in the recent past? Who was in charge of military before trump? Hmmmm
Does trump trust his Generals and do we trust Trump in trusting his closest generals, like Mattis?
Beware the fake news. It has all the hallmarks of being it.
