Well, that military won't pay itself...

  Having a US passport entitles citizens to a lot of benefits globally, those benefits have to be paid for. It would seem odd that you can benefit from the US growing up, and once you make it, you can move to the Cayman Islands and not pay for the benefits you have received

    Having a European passport entitles citizens to a lot of benefits globally too, but oddly enough I haven't paid taxes to any EU country since the day I moved out and nobody expects me to. I'm not sure why the US thinks it is so special that it is entitled to tax people who happen to be born there even if they have nothing to do with the country any more. You aren't taking a loan on taxes during your childhood; that period is sponsored by everyone else. It goes both ways.

      Americans are weirdly obsessed with the idea of rich expats not paying US taxes.

    Can you mention some of those benefits?

    If you're talking about visa-free travels around the world than I have to break it to you: European passports are stronger than US. Just FYI.
