Can Non-American go to war with us-troops to fight in iraq? And How?

Question

Just wonder.

Answer 1

They can and do. Permanent resident aliens were subject to the draft (subject to certain treaties with foreign countries, notably Switzerland, viz. the Moser case http://supreme.justia.com/us/341/41/case.html ) and have always been eligible to enlist. Expedited naturalization is available to them.

Filipinos before 1946 and other noncitizen nationals (today that refers only to inhabitants of American Samoa and Swains Island) served in the US Forces. Until 1991 Filipinos could serve in the US Navy. http://www.inq7.net/opi/2003/jul/20/opi_rjfarolan-1.htm

Once enlisted (only US citizens can be commissioned officers) an alien national can be sent to serve anywhere, subject to limitations posed by the absence of a security clearance. (Thus s/he could not work in intelligence, or as a U.S. Marine Security Guard at an embassy.)

While military service can hasten naturalization, it does not normally afford immigration rights. (For what it's worth, the French Foreign Legion likewise requires that candidates for enlistment already be legally in the country.)

In addition to aliens who are members of the US Forces, several foreign countries (most notably Britain) are still members of the so-called "coalition of the willing" and have troops in Iraq that, while not necessarily integrated with the US Forces, may work and fight alongside them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_force_in_Iraq (Wiki)

Answer 2

Yes this is very common, when I was in the Navy we had many non-Americans who have enlisted...it's the same with all the armed forces. There are two things to be said about this:

1) Serving with the military does not guarantee you any special privileges to citizenship (although the Navy had a program for many years for certain countries under our jurisdiction and after so many years of service, they got it)

2) You may be restricted to certain assignments. For example, non-citizens are unable to be in classified assignments such as intelligence, etc. Your recruiter can easily tell you what you can and cannot do.

Answer 3

You might if you are already in the military or want to become a U.S. citizen. You can also joing the dozens of private security organizations. The U.S. is not the only country in there. Maybe those countries have different policies. You could also immigrant to Iraq and join their military.

Answer 4

Their perception equipment is so solid that if a pacesetter is killed or captured, the subsequent one in line takes over an no human being is favourite with of the replace in administration. i respect the idea of The conflict on Terrorism, yet ask your self if we can fairly accomplish our targets.
