He had the opportunity to become a citizen. He squandered it by criminal activity, prison time, drug/alcohol addiction and the like. Service in the armed forces is not a pass on criminal activity. I know it is all being blamed on PTSD. That is an easy scapegoat.

While I would have welcomed him as a newly minted citizen had he gone down the right path, crying PTSD after crime and prison time and trying to generate sympathy isn't getting it for me.

He had five years to complete the paperwork and if all the people concerned about him today had cared then, he would be a US Citizen. So much easier and less paperwork to do it then before committing crimes and so near to deportation.

SSG Robert Mark Odom - I went through the process with my wife from Fiancé to naturalization. Forms even come with instructions, not hard to do.

The military and U.S. is done with some folks when they have outlived their usefulness.
