That ugly, huh?
MAVNI is not a new program suddenly opening military service up to potentially dangerous foreign nationals, however. Started in 2008 under the administration of President George W. Bush, the initiative recruits individuals who emigrated to the U.S. with their parents before the age of 16; specifically, it now targets persons approved under the 2012 Deferred Action for Child Arrivals Act (DACA). The goal of MAVNI is to locate and enroll people with specialized skills, particularly highly valued medical and linguistic skills, for military service to the U.S.

I don't like the current administration any more than you do but let's keep the facts straight. More smoke and mirrors gentlemen, just more smoke and mirrors.
Everytime I see Obama with military people EVERYONE is smiling. Not one grim face. I don't get that. I guess all the dissenters are "uninvited"?When a certain Democratic president visited us at APG in the 90's....we had to check everyone's weapon to make sure no one had a loaded weapon when he arrived. We were on a live fire range! We are the Army..... why the F did he come and waste our time? BS photo op to show him with the troops when he was accused of being disrespectful to the troops.... again.
Let's not forget the large number of generals and admirals that the O has purged from the services, as well as the O-3s RIF'd from the Army recently.
