In 2006, the army raised the enlistment age to 42 (see http://www.army.com/news/item/2076). Also, it has long been a policy of the U.S. armed forces to admit non-citizens.

So, I would like to encourage those friends and acquaintances of mine who support John McCain in the coming election and who support the continuation of the U.S. presence in Iraq to act on their convictions and join the war effort. The Army would value your experience in the Bundeswehr, your skill set, life experience and your commitment to the war. Additionally, it might be a path to U.S. citizenship!
