Two American parents, child born anywhere is still an American. I don’t get the twisted thinking or the name calling below.

Yes, but not a natural born citizen unless born in the country, or as it turns out, if he parent was "in the service of the country" at the time. Could be military, could be diplomatic. Diplomatic is well recognized, but in "Law of Nations" there is an "exemption" for children born "in the armies of the state". Section 217 , while the basic rule is in section 212.
