39. And yet the error of the main premise of your post goes unacknowledged.

Hate Trump all you want, but if that's at a disregard of accuracy then all you got is a firm belief in hate as the greater good.

Which, again, goes to a faulty premise.

If you're a citizen, you're a citizen. Oddly, more than a few veterans somehow assume that citizenship is simply granted. It's not. It still has to be asked for and there are still things that can lead to a applicant's disqualification. However, you move close to the front of the line and some requirements are waived. They had a chance, they had opportunity, and all they needed was a stamp--application fee's waived. Presumably they have adequate English and know how paperwork goes, since, well, military.

Until then, you're like everybody else in your category.

More interesting, I don't know how well grounded the number in the OP is.
