    I can assure you they do when the entire point is to get out of a developing country and make the US your home. Same reason a ton of foreign fighters ably serve in the French Foreign Legion.

        If you serve an enlistment as something non sensitive you can always move into classified jobs. As long as you don’t come from a sensitive country or have contacts to one. Although you’re not going to work for the CIA or someone without a serious probe into your history.

            Oh gosh no. They hire through a central thing now. If they were doing stupid stuff like that it would have blown up in their face a decade ago. Maybe during the cold war, but certainly not now.

                No I mean we’d have news stories about it. You couldn’t discriminate like that in an open hiring process without it hitting the news. This isn’t the 1950’s anymore, they aren’t pulling college kids out of Harvard on an invite basis. You can apply right on their website. People regularly write tell all books about their career on the open side of the CIA. It would be no different then an agency like HHS trying to discriminate in it’s hiring.
