You are incorrect. It is not unlawful as the laws of that nation state allow for it. As to your assertion that it violates international law for a nation state to conscript forces during a time of war, please site the section of law which you think would be violated.

Again, my only assertion is that US law governs US citizenship. You should stop projecting on to my statement anything further than that simple statement of fact.

Would I get something in return for having gone to the trouble of looking this up? I am not of a mind to do it without some sort of benefit other than having been proven correct once more. And again, you are misstating my point. It is a violation of international law to compel someone to fight against their own country during a time of war.

The "simple" part is indeed correct. It is demonstrably devoid of any deep thinking, very much like the notion that mere birth within our borders makes one a "natural" citizen. We can see the consequences to the nation of believing this nonsense; Several millions of "Anchor Babies" who have no loyalty to this country, a massively booming "Birth Tourism" Industry, and a "Precedent" with more loyalty to any other nation but ours.

You are simply refusing to see that the bad consequences of such an idea are not "simple" at all.
