在巴格达郊区一个名为“胜利营”的(Camp Victory)美军军营里,近150名不同肤色、身着不同军种服装的士兵同时举起右手,大声宣誓“支持和保卫美国宪法”……千万别以为这是一场战前鼓动或者美军为提升士气而进行的某种演练。事实上,这是一场宣誓加入美国国籍的仪式。它标志着那些在伊拉克为美国打仗卖命的士兵终于获得了作为美国公民的合法身份。这听上去似乎有些不可思议,但事实的确如此:随着美军在伊拉克战后泥潭中愈陷愈深,美国本土出生的士兵厌战情绪急剧上升,不少人想方设法逃避到伊拉克服役,甚至为此而当起逃兵;与此同时,驻伊美军中的外籍兵人数正在悄然增加,而吸引他们奔赴战场的最根本原因就是可得到美国国籍。
In a Camp Victory U.S. military barracks on the outskirts of Baghdad, nearly 150 soldiers of different colors and in different military garments raised their right hands simultaneously and swore loudly to “support and defend the U.S. Constitution.” Ten Thousands Do not think this is a pre-war agitation or US military to enhance morale and some kind of exercise. In fact, this is a ceremony of vowing to join the U.S. nationality.

This may sound strange, but the truth is that with the deepening deepening of the U.S. military in the quagmire after Iraq’s war, the native-born soldiers in the United States have experienced a rise in the scale of their weary war. Many people find ways to evade their service in Iraq and even to that end At the same time, the number of foreign soldiers in the U.S. military stationed in Iraq is quietly increasing. The most fundamental reason for attracting them to the battlefield is the availability of U.S. citizenship.
