During WWII my uncle Charlie served in the US Army starting in 1942 - he had lived in this country for nearly 22 years (he was 31 at the time) but had never officially become a US citizen (he was born in Italy) - however he was inducted and served at a time when the US was at war with Italy

Did they give him and his family (assuming he was married) a simplified road to citizenship? Today, the US military will (usually) help a servicemember and his family all they can.
