There IS a basic test to enlist called the ASVAB. If you can't pass the test at an acceptable level you can't enlist regardless of anything else. I imagine that if you don't understand english very well that you won't do too well on the test. The recruiters and MEPS are supposed to look for this kind of thing, and they treat it as a disability just like if you were missing a limb. No speaky, no worky.
Unlike the rest of the nation, the military is a strictly ENGLISH institution. There is no BS about equal access to foreign languages or anything. If you can't understand english acceptably and fluently you will either not be able to join, get administratively discharged when it becomes apparent that you are incapable of doing your duties, or you will end up a low-rate cook (if you're lucky) until they "early retire" you (no benefits). If you can't understand your orders IN ENGLISH as a soldier/sailor/airman you are beyond worthless as far as they are concerned because you become a liability. It doesn't mean you're a bad person, it just means that you're a bad US serviceman. Sorry.
I don't believe they allow dual citizenship, btw, unless you are dropping your foreign citizenship.
