    If you are serving or have served in the U.S. armed forces and are interested in becoming a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization under special provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

    Please point out where it guarantees citizenship to those who serve?

      You’re right, it doesn’t actually. I don’t disagree with that. But I have heard recruiters lying to children with some hideous lies that heavily imply that it’s baaaaasically a guarantee etc.
