    It appears to me that these Navy Sailors were immigrants to our Country.
    I wonder what is the % of Navy Sailors who are immigrants?
    Do any of the commenters know?

      These were men of the United States Navy. Legal citizens of the United States. Does it really matter that they were immigrants? No!! What matters is we lost 7 United States Navy Servicemen in a traggic accident.

    4:50, they all had one thing in common. They were all American Patriots serving in foreign territory putting their very lives on the line every day protecting YOU and your family and neighbors.

    What more information do you need?

    I suggest a lot of service people are immigrants.
    They are running out of American kids to kill in these illegal wars.
    So pretty good bet the majority of the military are now from other countries trying to "earn their way" to citizenship by killing for the bankers.

    Just a guess though.
