Without getting into the implications of the demographics of the US armed forces, this statement is simply not true.  One must be a legal resident of the US before one is allowed to enlist in the military.  What is true, though, is that enlistment puts legal residents/green cardholders on a fast track for US citizenship.

As a former British citizen who, while still an "alien", joined the  U.S. Navy as an enlisted man and retired 25 years later as a commissioned officer, I can tell you that enlisting does not put you on a fast track for US citizenship.  I had to go through all of the hoops and wait the same time periods as any other applicant.  I was, however, proud to wear my uniform to my swearing in. Wee laddie

Now, however, it does put you on a faster track.  Bush issued an executive order in July to accomplish this.
