An unknown number of soldiers & veterans never charged with a crime can't pass a background check due to a military process that falsely reports them as having been arrested.
Lawyers say @POTUS or @SecDef could fix this "simply by picking up the phone."

The military knows this is happening and in 2022, after years of outcry, cleared the records of hundreds of soldiers investigated for participating in a recruiting bonus program.
But it has fought to avoid doing the same for others, baffling a judge who wrote this last year:
ALT Section of judge's ruling reading, "Seemingly, there is no reason why Defendants would want inaccurate information in their system. One could only speculate as to why the Army would defend a record that is not accurate of the events that took place."

Bill from @RepDanCrenshaw could streamline Border Patrol's hiring process by eliminating the polygraph requirement for some candidates with law enforcement or military credentials.

Border Patrol can't hire agents fast enough to replace thousands of soon-to-be retirees, and current and former employees say overly aggressive and unaccountable polygraph examiners are disqualifying more than half of otherwise-qualified candidates.

Border Patrol's polygraph failure rate used to be 65%, nearly twice as high as other federal agencies, according to a 2017 AP report. CBP declined to provide updated failure stats, but a Border Patrol union spokesman says it's still around 50%.

BREAKING: The Army confirms it is reviewing ~1,900 cases in which soldiers were slapped with a flag on their record for participating in a recruiting program. Of reviews completed so far, they say the majority require some form of correction. Story to come

Veteran groups grapple with declining membership. What's at stake if they can't bring in new blood?

An amendment to the NDAA would have cleared the records of innocent soldiers targeted by a sweeping Army investigation. It didn't get enough votes. Conservative lawmakers and advocates say they'll keep trying.

After investigating a now-defunct recruiting program, the Army referred 1,503 cases of suspected fraud to civilian prosecutors.
- 137 cases were actually prosecuted
- But 2,580 soldiers/veterans likely aren't able to pass a background check
