Two GOP lawmakers introduce bill to extend US veteran protections to Americans serving in Israeli military

Two Republican congressmen have introduced legislation that would provide the same employment and economic protections to Americans serving in the Israeli military as US citizens who get deployed to serve in the US military.

The bill, if passed, would amend US law and extend certain protections to include American citizens who serve in the Israeli military.

Those protections include being safe against foreclosure and the repossession of rental property, and would also reduce the interest rates of any loans taken out before their service. It would also protect those Americans from default judgements in legal cases, and grant them job rights and the employment benefits that US veterans receive.

    Crazy. Having had some experience with US immigration, and knowing the kind of questions they ask, it’s wild to me that you could be serving in a foreign military and qualify for US citizenship.

      If you are a US citizen and you are in the US military doing their bidding with/in a foreign army it is fine. If you are applying for citizenship that is different, because you should see yourself as a worthless beggar who only might receive the grace of the US to let you in.
