You renounce your citizenship when you take up arms against soldiers from your own country. No, you don't.
Post your reference, as your unqualified assertion is completely contrary to my understanding.
By the way, I'm going back to research this myself, just to make certain.

Well, it seems you do, if you enter intoe the armed forces o0f a foreign state agains the United States.
Padilla didn't do that, so, I guess he's still a citizen, to our collective shame.
But, he should still be held as a military detainee.

Post your reference, as your unqualified assertion is completely contrary to my understanding. There was a law for that specific to WWII. But now the conditions of revocation include "...performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality." If he didn't intend to, he doesn't lose it.
