More than 5,000 immigrants were recruited into the program

40 who have been discharged

the Army informed them they'd been labeled as security risks

No news or injustice here. Just sensationalized journalism.
Even US citizens get rejected from the military.

Ex-military myself, you are spot on. 40 out of 5K is nothing. That many citizen recruits wash out of basic training, if not more. Plus many others fail security checks in this day and age. This is pure BS.

In addition to that is the very real fact that outside interests have infiltrated the US military many times.
Everyone from foreign agencies to extremist groups have and continue to try.

Considering all that, it does not sound like they are being very picky.
Facts are so inconvenient for the modern 24hr news cycle.
