Outrage-inducing AP story on Army ‘discharging’ immigrant recruits has some pumping the brakes – twitchy.com"We’re not entirely sure what to make of this AP story after having read it.
It includes plenty of heart-wrenching quotes from those who’ve been affected, and it’s getting passed around a whole lot Thursday.
But is it a major scandal or not?
AP NewsBreak: The U.S. Army has moved in recent weeks to discharge dozens of immigrant recruits and reservists who enlisted through a program that promised them a path to citizenship. apne.ws/JOBp0kF
Like we said, the tweet managed to stir up plenty of outrage.
And it does sound horrible.
Service in the U.S. military should be a path to citizenship.
But is the AP’s tweet reflective of what’s actually going on?
A lot have their doubts.
Gigantic scandal if true.
Don't get too excited about AP outrage framing. Pretty sure there's less here than meets the eye. twitter.com/neontaster/sta…
Per article, total days served by those affected: zero. Nobody had even one day of boot camp.
