Yes my husband and one of our good friends both have been in the Marine for 7 years and both only recently became citizens (about 2 years ago). there is now a clause that allows a person to be a citizen if they join..this is new some people who died in Iraq were not citizens and after their deaths the government decided hummm maybe it'd be a good idea,

Yes they can. They do NOT need to be a citizen, nor do they need to be a resident. When I was in the Navy, we had a lot of Filipinos on board that never set foot in the U.S. until they went to boot camp. They couldn't hold a security clearance about Classified (which everyone gets), so most worked in the Supply Department.

You do not have to be a resident nor a citizen of the united states. The only clause once you enlist and are accepted is that within three years you must be naturalized a US citizen.

Yes, you can always join the military. You may not be able to vote, or drink, or be a citizen cause your skin color is wrong, or wear a Bush sucks t-shirt to a republiQaedan rally, but sure you can die for our country.

Happens all the time. They usually are granted citizenship soon after boot camp or before deployment.

YES -- you can and this was an option that many immigrants and potential immigrants to the US took in WWI, WWII, and subsequent conflicts -- and conflicts even before these listed.
