Actually, serving in the armed forces of a foreign state actively in conflict with the US, is one of the 7 acts that result in loss of US citizenship. No need for any paperwork, it's automatic, and unlike treason, does not require a conviction.

Can the Taliban be considered a 'foreign state', that depends, but it appears likely, as Obama has entered agreements such as this exchange in which he treats it as such.

There were reports in 2010 where the Taliban claimed that Bergdahl was training them on how to make IED's, and how to better attack convoys. If those reports are true, in my opinion Bergdahl is no longer a US Citizen, no matter if he made a statement to that effect or not.

Is that a law?

Is that a law? Because if so, and if the news that we knew about his whereabouts but our special forces did not engage the enemy to rescue him as a deserter, is true, then we could have just blown away the bastard as an enemy combatant to kingdom come with a drone.

Apparently BB was never a POW with the Teleban but was a hostage of a group from Pakastan know for kidnapping people for ransom. Ollie North and others have explained the difference and how it will effect his legal stand. Lots of conflicting material. Much of it put out by DC and their agents

The five detainees look more and more like smoke cover for using tax money to pay the ransom
