Henk | I understand that you can not join the military because of medical reasons but I do know that you dont have to worry about losing your citizenship. Believe it or not in most armies in the world you do not have to be a citizen of that country to serve. I know in the US army you can be from Mexico, Spain, Germany whereever the hell you want to. We have some guys in our unit from Columbia, Korea, Haiti, Germany, and Turkey. They are all still citizens of there country but they serve in the US Army. The same goes for the German army and most western armies in the world.

Country:  | You have to be an Australian citizen to join our Military. And I believe (but may be wrong) you forfeit your citizenship if you join a foreign military except the British armed forces.

Country:  | You must give up your citizenship in SA because the law state that you can not just fight for a other country, but if you do the 2 years in the SADF you do not have to give up your citizenship and can join a other country's army.
I would love to be tactician in a army and plan how to fight the enemy and work with re-con and Intel to make your battle plans.

Country: | In our Army you can be enlisted or Non Commissioned Officer and not be a US citizen but if you want to be an Officer you have to be a US citizen.

Country: | No they do security checks on you and everything but you do not have to be a US citizen. In my unit we have German, Haiti, Mexican, Columbian, Irish and a Turkish all serving under the US flag. We even had a Canadian and a British for a while.

Country:  | Well, you don't have to be a US citizen, but you must be allowed the right to work in the US. In other words, you must have your Green Card. | |

Country: | Not necessarily. A friend of mine who is from Germany just went and talked to the US Army Recruiter in Wurzberg Germany and signed up when he joined 6 years ago.

Country: | Well, that's what is written on the US Army website... The minimum requirement is the Green Card. But may be the laws changed since your friend joined the army. | |
