- Thank you for exposing WCAP for what it really is .... a immigration loophole enabler that takes National team spots from REAL Amercians (by that I mean --- those whose parents paid taxes) at taxpayer expense. What the Department of Defense's MAVNI program was designed for was to fight idiots like Al-Shabaab that threatens our great nation as well a that of Kenya.
-FACT: ZERO MAVNI program soldiers in the WCAP have served in East Africa. In fact, the "big babies" were scared to even go to Uganda for World Cross. The formula is simple: Taxpayer Scholarship, Green Card, NCAA-experience, Army MAVNI, WCAP, Citizenship, & then represent the US.

And how many MAVNI program soldiers serve in East Africa or wherever their language is needed? Probably very few.
I know plenty of soldiers who are receiving additional pay due to their language but never use it to help the Army's mission.
You really have no clue how the Army works, So just stop.

Also, one could continue service as a weekend warrior and still compete. I know many reservists and guardsmen who continue to train and race while completing a NG career.

- You are institutionalized .... can't even see through WCAP BS in OUR taxpayer funded Army.
Letsrunners are only happy if an WCAP athlete ends his Army career in a grave.
I'm pretty sure the Army collects all the prize money these runners earn whilst they are in the WCAP.

It's a privilege to be an associate in the greatest army in history, the United States Army.

Well MANVI was suspended in 2016 so that’s a non issue. Likely due to it not being used as intended. It was an easier citizenship route, hence a recruiting tool.
Nothing is preventing other Americans from joining WCAP. You should talk to the guys that the WCAPers have beaten. Maybe they will want to join up?

“Better than”? So you do admit you’d rather them die. Cool.
Also I will give you opportunist, which I don’t view necessarily as a bad thing, but coward and malignerer certainly don’t describe these guys.
"coward, malingerer"
that describes the anonymous message board poster hiding behind Likety Split.
Techy guys? Can you find out who this is?

Agreed!
How is the program a joke?
Kipchirchir was available to be called to fight every single day he was in the program. If you don't think he was deployed sufficiently, take it up with the ARMY.

Other than run track for WCAP, what do these guys do for our country, Kenya, East Asia --- NOTHING! Dereliction of Duty!
Funny how Mo never got this much respect for being British despite having no choice in moving here.
I don't blame the guy for running for America etc but Gordon Bennett there are some double standards on this site. Fair enough he's served his time although how he managed 27 off army duties is beyond me. Is it s pretend rank like in Kenya? I don't think Kiprop really walks the beat. Although he may be back to that soon
Perhaps we should draft in done Kenyan dentists as you know we're a bit short. Be purely coincidental if they happened to be fast runners as well as polishing our dodgy teeth!
Of course no mention of doping or sudden improvement. That's only for Kenyan Kenyans not American Kenyans!
They do exactly as they're told, which is more than your pal Donnie can say. Also they certainly can be deployed. Julius Bor and Elkanah Kibet, two members of WCAP, were deployed in Afghanistan for a year. Bor was very nearly killed by a suicide bomber. https://deadspin.com/how-a-small-time-training-group-and-an-army-program-cha-1797614412

A couple of things lost in this debate:
1. The Kenyans who have joined the WCAP program are just taking advantage of an opportunity. Who wouldn’t jump at the offer of US citizenship and full-time athlete status?
2. Why is the US Army recruiting, offering US citizenship, and paying Kenyan runners to run for the US? Does this make any sense?
If you don't like the United States of America, The Greatest Country in the 100,000 year history since mankind spread out from it's birthplace of Kenya. Then you should try moving to totalitarian fascist hellholes with no freedom, no democracy, no suffrage, no free press. Places like Russia, Cuba, China, Egypt, Texas, Jordan, Israel, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc. See how you like living there.

They do more than you, which is why you can’t articulate how they are cowardly or maligners.
Further, you said they’d be better off in a grave than serving WCAP. That’s f*cked up. You’re disgusting.
