My active duty USAF career was just a few months shy of 30 years of continuous service. I served with others of all races, creeds, religions, national origins, sexual orientations, etc. True Patriots come in all varieties and flavors of all of those things.
Sadly, so do bigots.
Get to know the individual and their heart. Never judge a subset of society by one member.

@KunsanVeteran I served with a LOT of Filipinos during my Navy days. Those men were recruited in the Philippines and most all of them acquired American citizenship. It was an honor to serve with them and would have no qualms with serving with them again. As they advanced they married and their families settled state side. Their children went on to become scientists, attorneys, doctors and one has a mid level position in the State Department. They're more patriotic than many Americans.
