Lincón, who was born in Texas to Mexican parents, was issued only a temporary one-year passport after his passport was blown up in the attack and he was asked for additional documentation to prove his U.S. citizenship. After the AP reached out to the State Department to inquire about his case, the 1995 West Point graduate said he received a call saying the request for more information was a mistake and he would be receiving a passport that would be good for 10 years.

There’s the problem right there. He might be a genuine, red-blooded American soldier, but he’s not quite pink-skinned enough for this administration to care about. Also, I’m willing to bet that new passport will never arrive.
