That’s incorrect. The following text is from The State Department’s Foreign Affairs Manual.

7 FAM 1113 NOT INCLUDED IN THE MEANING OF “IN THE UNITED STATES”

c. Birth on U.S. Military Base Outside of the United States or Birth on U.S. Embassy or Consulate Premises Abroad:

(1) Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to U.S. jurisdiction and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth.”

That is just unethical.

So If Pa and Ma are in the service of the country and sacrifice comfort and prosperity to serve the country, their offspring are penalized?

That just aint American.
Or at the very least it should not be American.

State Departments Foreign Affairs Manual???? I am really surprised that anybody nowadays would quote anything from the State Department as being “Gospel”. Inasmuch as “Natural Born” is not defined in the Constitution and only has been subject to many interpretations, do you think it was possible back in the late 1700’s that they intended “Natural Born” to mean “Not By Witchcraft”? Put your Cheetos down and go do something productive.
