Asian American Army Enrollment Up 80%

In Southern California, the amount of Asian Americans enlisting in the US Military are up by a staggering 80% compared to last year. Among the reasons for the spike in enrollment: military programs that offer college tuition — and for some, a special program that offers United States citizenship to select recruits with healthcare specialities and language expertise. Not bad, other than that pesky side effect of possibly dying in a war.
