Joining Foreign Military?
No it happens all the time. Jews go back to Israel to serve, Americans join the French Foreign Legion, There are hundreds of PMC's (Private military corporations) that do work all over the world. As long as you don't join something considered a terrorist organization or a enemy of the state your ok. Just to update this you do not need to be citizen. My stepson is not a U.S> citizen and when investigated throught the U.S. Embasy here in Cost a Rica all the requirements were was to have a green card and be in the country legally. Also when I was in the Marines we had several Non-US citizens in our platoon. The specifically came to the U.S. to be a Marine. Many were from the Carib Islands that are not U.S. territory. If I pull out my Redbook I could possibly remember the country's but it's been almost 25 years. Also you do not have to give up your US citizenship. Although that is an easy matter if you read your passport it will tell you exactly what you have to do. Simply renouncing it in the presence of an Embassy official will do. You can't write a letter ike some cri9minals have tried you have to do it in person in what equates to U.S. soil. I can guess why they want it that way..;-)
How would you react if a foreign nation had a military base in the US?
If we were a piddly little war torn country that had had 4 different ruling powers in 10 years, and were being dominated and abused by the current leader, then we might just be grateful. Terrorists aren't the organized forces of the occupied country. Terrorists are the ones that employ 14 year old kids to go on suicide missions, and terrorists are the reason that my husband cant take his son and I to the Independence Day fireworks display because hell have a flashback. Prewar Iraq and the United States of America are nothing alike.
Does anyone know how Or where to join a foreign military?

I am in the military and stationed in Japan. Do I have to claim my Japanese wife's foreign income?
I am in the military and am stationed (and living) in Japan. My wife is Japanese and works part time at a Japanese business off base. Is her income taxable? I am a bit nervous as we will be applying for her green card in the next few months. I am required to submit two years worth of tax returns with the I-864. What has us a little worried is the fact that I did not claim her income last year, but her visa application states she is/has been employed at a Japanese business. Please provide only answers that relate directly to the question. If possible also provide sources. Thank you!
Can someone who has served in a foreign military join the US military?
i'm notably helpful there are regulations. As for the united kingdom, the united kingdom is the quantity a million best buddy of the U. S., and if what you assert is authentic, i'm helpful this is why you have been waiting to enlist. It rather relies upon on the past us of a, yet i'm notably helpful the respond isn't any.
Why should I join the military if I don't agree with US foreign policy?
When you serve in the military you serve your country not the politicians. I have been with the military for 25 years. Over that time I have often disagreed with the governments in house but I have never disagreed with the need for people like me willing to recognize some things are greater than myself. If a democratically elected government generates a policy I disagree with I make sure that I let my displeasure be felt when I vote, however it never changes my duty nor my resolve to honour that duty. When I was standing on guard, rifle in hand, back in the Middle East (a few years ago now) I kept thinking of my young son back home. Ensuring he is safe and able to enjoy the freedom than most of us take for granted was the motivating factor that kept me going. It had nothing to do with foreign policy. ADDITIONALLY I have had the opportunity to help many people while overseas. I helped rebuilt an orphanage in the Philippines, Feed people in Haiti, Bring food and cloths to an orphanage in Ecuador. I was invited to participate in the dedication of a new Buddhist temple in the mountains in Thailand (we traveled by elephant --which was pretty cool) and spent the night in a Bedouin village in the desert as their guest There are plenty of edifying experiences waiting for anyone honourable enough to be willing to serve.
