Maybe you weren't around... It's common... Even to the point of voting in foreign elections and serving in foreign Armed Forces. I don't think it should be allowed but it is.

Serving in foreign military

Since the Afroyim decision, thousands of Americans have served in foreign militaries -- chiefly the Israel Defense Forces -- and voted in foreign elections.

Americans who serve in the Israel Defense Forces see no conflict between their U.S. and Israeli loyalties.

Michael Cohen has spent roughly half his 37 years in the United States, half in Israel.

"I ran in the Jerusalem marathon this past week," said Cohen, who is an explosive ordnance disposal officer in the IDF reserves. "I carried both an Israeli flag and an American flag. I don't see a conflict between the two. They both stand for democracy, freedom and human rights."

A U.S. Army Reserve counterintelligence officer with dual citizenship in the United States and Israel has had his security clearance revoked by what he believes is an "anti-Israeli" bias within the military.

Maj. Shawn Pine, in an interview with WorldNetDaily, said that his revocation was not only improper in terms of his citizenship – he said others in a former unit he commanded also had dual citizenship – but because the revocation also failed to meet the Army's own regulations.

Pine, a former member of the U.S. Army Rangers, commanded the 300th Military Intelligence Company in Austin, Texas, when his Top Secret security clearance was revoked. He told WND he had his clearance revoked last fall after he told Army officials he performed reserve military duty for the Israel Defense Force for a short time in 1996.
