The message above looks like a mixture of someone trying to meet their enlistment quota through outreach and a certain well-intentioned blindness that comes from years of indoctrination to trust the system. I’d be hesitant to say this recruiter is personally trying to round up immigrants, although there is always a chance.

This was my read as well. That E-6 probably doesn't care about immigration and the like; he just wants to dangle whatever carrot he can to get bodies.

It's scummy, but it's not meant to be as malicious as it comes off.

That being said! Intention doesn’t matter. This is a program that can be weaponized and it should be ridiculed as such.

100%.
