Great, remind me to 1)not join the military because the government will not recognize my children, born on station, as US citizens much less NBC. 2) Ditto Diplomatic Corps (besides they won’t even defend me from attack!)
In short, as the retired Calvary officer and Ranching father said in “Legends of the Fall”....
“Screw the Government”
Good news!
I just found conflicting information that may make your original post correct and mine wrong or at least open to question.
From the US Code, Title 8, Section 1401:
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(c) a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents both of whom are citizens of the United States and one of whom has had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions, prior to the birth of such person;
That looks to me like if military parents stationed overseas have ever had a US residence, their offspring are Citizens of the United States at birth.
