This is inaccurate

It's true that "If you are serving or have served in the U.S. armed forces and are interested in becoming a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization under special provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)." https://www.uscis.gov/military/naturalization-through-military-service BUT, those people joined the military before that program was closed.

Military service
Certain F-1 students may be eligible to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces through the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest, or MAVNI program. While students on F-1 visas are normally not allowed to join the military, they may be able to receive an exception if they possess critical skills needed by the military.

This program allows people who qualify to join the military and apply for U.S. citizenship using Form N-400. However, the program was closed indefinitely and is under review by the current administration, so it may not be an avenue for obtaining a Green Card in the near future.

See also https://www.usa.gov/join-military which states

Requirements for Enlisting If You Are Not a U.S. Citizen
You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to enlist in the military, but you may have fewer options. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you must:

Have a permanent resident card, also known as a Green Card
Currently live in the U.S.
Speak, read, and write English fluently
