This is what I love about the US. Past members of enemy armies can migrate to the US and live the American dream which means it's real. The only requirement is loyalty to the US.

It's the same in Australia. My father was born in 1940 in an "occupied by Germany country"... One of my father's best friends was a German veteran. They used to drink play chess together regularly.
