US MILITARY FINDS NEW CROP OF POOR BLACK MEN “Ugandans who want a career in the United States military, can sign up at the annual convention of the Uganda North American Association, organisers say. American military recruiters will set up a booth at this year’s UNAA convention in Orlando, Florida, and seek out professional Ugandans … UNAA is encouraging interested Ugandans to book flights to Orlando and take a shot at joining the US military. The organisation says it has made a deal with Kenya Airways/KLM for a discounted return ticket … Public interest in jobs abroad in Uganda is intense. Recruitment and job placement companies which advertise are often flooded with thousands of applications.”

I have like no words for this. Why not use the men who are in prison to fight wars.
Because you can’t trust criminals with weapons silly!
This is so brilliant, I’m really shocked that no one thought of this before. My goodness. Sudan, Sierra Leone and Congo is just full of hardened young men who are prime Marine material.
And this is legal?
You don’t need to be an American to be in the US military. My brother sure isn’t yet. Why not go to Mexico? It’s closer and cheaper. Are they not as hardened as children of war?
It boggles my mind that someone could fight for this country and not have citizenship. … On second thought, it’s not like military service ever improved the treatment of African Americans or Native Americans at home.
This really turns my stomach.
WTF??? This is some bulls***!
That’s America doing what it does best… taking advantage of impoverished/less fortunate people. I bet u they’re not getting the same sign on bonuses and perks as those who join in the states are getting.
French Foreign Legion????
I bet u they won’t report/broadcast the number of foreign recruits they have to the public, the same way they “leave out” the number of Blackwater officers they have.
I guess they are running out of white men that are the majority of soldiers dying.
Sigh.
You’d be surprised how ‘glowingly’ America is seen in the eyes of Africans…
color me dumbfounded. it’s not enough that we send our own young people off to be killed, but we’ll happily offer up (presumably) desperate africans, as well.
I’m *too* through!
I’m fine with them recruiting Ugandans to serve in our military, as long as they don’t give them U.S. citizenship when they’re done serving.
Why would you be fine with that Stenar??
Are they worthy of dying for this country, yet unfit for citizenship??
Holy muthafukkkkkk! I have no words! I am furious.
There is seriously steam coming out of my ears right now. How is this permissible?
Stenar - are you joking?
We shouldn’t be in the biz of recruiting non-citizens to fight (die) for us. The administration sinks deeper and deeper into the pit of disgust. November can’t come soon enough.
