They also can commission in ANY branch of the military. My son will be a 2LT Marine Corps officer upon graduation and will serve 5 years active duty. 3 of his teammates are Navy Flight and another is Air Force Flight. The Merchant Marines are NOT civilians. They are members of our military

They graduate as either 3rd Engineers or 3rd Mates. They are ALL COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. And are required to do 7 years reserve duty or 5 years active duty.

To emphasize once again: the vast majority of fentanyl traffickers are US citizens, who get less scrutiny from CBP when they reenter the country at ports of entry.
Here's the U.S. Sentencing Commission noting that in FY 2023, 86.4% of people sentenced for fentanyl trafficking were US citizens.
