According to Vattel #1-217 the children of soldiers on duty born overseas are ‘deemed’ to be born within the nation of that soldiers allegiance.

Do you only follow one line - mistranslated- out of Vattel?

Or do you actually follow what Vattel wrote?

The translation was done in the same century as the constitution was written. I find that more reliable than the whining of members of the political class that are not elibible for POTUS.

Vattel:
§ 217. Children born in the armies of the state.
For the same reasons also, children born out of the country, in the armies of the state, or in the house of its minister at a foreign court, are reputed born in the country; for a citizen who is absent with his family, on the service of the state, but still dependent on it, and subject to its jurisdiction, cannot be considered as having quitted its territory.

If Vattel is accepted as the source of the Natural born citizen requirement, one might argue that Macain is a NBC.
