Wow, that's a huge lesson he's learning, you need to do a little research.
As a vet, tRump doing this pissed me off almost as much as anything else he did in his first term. Some of the most ardent service(wo)men I served with were part of this program around 2006-ish. Many of them stayed in past their required terms (which I think had to be 8-years if I'm not mistaken), unlike myself and others looking to get through college debt-free.
If you're willing to put your life on the line for a country you aren't currently a citizen of, you deserve to be a citizen of that country on the other side of that service.
