You stop being a US citizen if you declare allegiance with, or gain officer ship with a non-US government (unless you are granted dual citizenship) (especially one seen as enemy).
8 U.S. Code § 1481 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1481 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1481
- dalke 13y agoThose are clauses under "voluntarily performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality". That specific clause says "the armed forces of a foreign state" - who is the foreign state here? As a minor quibble, it's not "gain officership" but "entering, or serving in". Otherwise, enemy X could declare that you are an officer, with no ability on your part to decline.
