Why do some people choose to join the US military?

I noticed a recent report about an immigrant woman from China joining the US military, so we can talk about this topic from this angle.

This woman named Zhang Huiru Huiru Zhang has immigrated to the United States for seven years, but she has never had American citizenship. When she joined the Marine Corps to serve the US military, the US military passed her application for naturalization.

It can be seen from the relevant news released by the US Department of Defense. She attended the swearing-in ceremony of American citizens in the engine room of MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft that the Marine Corps took. Many military commentators believe that this should be the first time that China people have been sworn in as naturalized on a military plane piloted by the US military, so it is very rare.

I also noticed that the swearing-in ceremony was actually earlier than the news released by the US military. In addition to her, an Indian immigrant was sworn in as a naturalized citizen on a military plane. Does anyone feel strange-why did the United States come up with such a strange immigration ceremony?

In fact, this should be consistent with the statement in the title: Why do some people join the US military because they can acquire nationality? And this is precisely an immigration naturalization policy implemented by the United States in the past 10, "Immigration to join the army for naturalization".

The reason why this policy is formulated is, of course, to enable immigrants to truly understand and identify with the United States. Compared with skilled immigrants, personally participating in the tasks of the US military will naturally enhance their love and loyalty to the United States. After all, the education of the army is different from that of the people. The army emphasizes patriotism and obedience, which is very important for immigrants.

This is also the reason why Trump resolutely opposes illegal immigration and wants to build a border wall. His reason is simple: illegal immigrants may not agree with the American spirit, or even those who violate American laws. How do they become American citizens?

Trump's logic is essentially fine. In the past 10 years, the Pentagon formulated the policy of "naturalization of immigrants who joined the army", also to cope with the increase of immigrants, but their loyalty to the United States was generally low or they didn't know much about the United States.

It is precisely because of this policy that immigrants can be naturalized, increase their understanding of the United States, and promote the increase of military service. At the same time, it is also conducive to the propaganda of the US military to serve more young people. This policy is carried out under the background of multiple goals.

Since 10, more than10,000 immigrants from all over the world have joined the army and become naturalized through this policy, which shows remarkable achievements.

Of course, not all immigrants casually join the army and become naturalized, and they have to go through physical examination and "national security inspection" similar to political examination.

For example, if an immigrant from an Arab country conceals his contact status with extremist organizations and becomes an active member of the US military without going through the "national security review", then whether he flies a plane or carries out ground military operations, it will definitely bring serious threats to the security of the United States. Therefore, safety inspection is necessary.
