Die on the battlefield and the empire will grant citizenship

The U.S. armed forces is strapped for new recruits, and the army recently upped the enlistment age from 40 to 42. Imagine, so many people are rejecting dying for the empire that they'll now take people 42 years old.

As this article states, the military focuses on minorities because they traditionally don't have the options some others may have. If you enlist, you get a six-year conditional status, but you get the express citizenship program if you're killed in battle. A lot of good citizenship does you then.
