re: #103 John Hughes

But you didn’t need to be in the MI to get citizenship

Didn’t even need to be military or quasi-military work. The big thing was signing up and doing what the Federal Service decided you should do, for two years. If you didn’t like it you could quit at any time but no backsies on getting the franchise. Who made those decisions about who did what though…

“Hey, Senator Heidrich’s nephew has just put in his application for Federal Service. I pulled it out of the queue like she asked, I’ll put him forward for that Federal courtroom internship she wants for him. The kid wants to be a lawyer, it will be good for his law school application even if he goofs off and doesn’t bother to turn up.”

R always HIP.
