A retired US Army colonel has slammed proposals for a new law that would allow vetted and qualified migrants an expedited path to citizenship by serving in the military.
Former Colonel Douglas MacGregor described the new bill, introduced by Hudson Valley Congressman Pat Ryan, as a ‘problem’ stemming from the ‘ideological bubble’ of Washington.
McGregor, a former senior advisor to the secretary of defense, told Tucker CarlsonUncensored the so-called ‘Courage to Serve’ bill is a plan to ‘find people with no connection to the American people, arming them and sending them out to oppress us.’
‘None of these people are Americans, we know from having interviewed them they have no aspiration to be Americans’ he told the program on Monday.
‘What they aspire to is to get in to the consumption machine. Get the ticket of entry, the free check, the free phone, the free transportation tickets, the free food, free medical care.

‘They don’t deserve this, they haven’t worked for any of it. In the meantime what do Americans get?’ he argued.
‘We have a force right now that can’t defend anything anywhere overseas very successfully.
‘Look at the border’ he said, referring to the record numbers of migrants crossing the southern border ‘no one seems to care.
‘The largest problem is Washington is this ideological bubble and they have decided the world has to be refashioned in a new image that exists only in their minds.’
‘I listened to the comments coming out of the house and I’m reminded of that famous statement from Vietnam “in order to save the village we had to destroy it”
‘I get the impression that’s the plan in Washington, we have to destroy the country in order to save it’ Macgregor said.
Adding: ‘From the standpoint of everyone in Washington, everything that happened before they arrived is wrong and the brave new world of the future must be built on the ruins of the past.
‘They’re doing a pretty good job of trying to make that work.

The southern border has seen record migrant crossings in recent months
The US missed their recruitment goals by 41,000 recruits last year.
OPINION: THINK IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH CULTURAL MARXISM?
Active-duty personnel numbers have fallen under Joe Biden
The US military missed their recruitment goals by 41,000 recruits last year.
America also started the year with its smallest military in more than eight decades, falling to 1,284,500 troops.
That is the lowest total since before the U.S. entered the Second World War in 1941 and officials said there should be a ‘national call to service’.
Military recruiters say Generation Z – those born between 1997 and 2012 generally have a ‘low trust in institutions’ and have ‘decreasingly followed traditional life and career paths.’
They have fewer relatives who served in the military leading to less inclination to serve.
Two decades ago 25 per cent of young people had never thought about joining the military, but that figure is now more than 50 percent.
According to MacGregor the military’s recruitment issues stem from bungled overseas missions over the last twenty years in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
‘We say “you’re building democracy” and people burst out laughing” it’s nonsense, of course it’s nonsense’ MacGregor told Carlson.
‘How is this defending America? and I think this is a huge part of the problem.
‘If you ask 100,000 men white, black, or anything “what are you prepared to do?” they are prepared to defend the United States, but they don’t see much evidence we are defending the United States’ Macgregor concluded.
