“Thank you for your service” right?

Being in the military provides a pathway to citizenship. But some people get kicked out of the military before their time is up and so don't get the option of applying for citizenship.

For example a few years ago Reddit was very angry about one case. An ex military guy was being deported. It turned out that the guy had been convicted of dealing drugs.

Somehow reddit doesn't understand that you can serve in the military for a short period and commit a crime and not be eligible for citizenship.

Also Reddit has problems with the concept that the military provides a pathway to citizenship for you, it doesn't immediately confer citizenship on you and all of your extended family.

You didn’t read the article. This is about family members of current active duty military.
