Citizenship


Passport spells out how to lose it

Sign up for HeraldNet Headlines
Regarding Charles Krauthammer's Friday column, "In defense of Obama's drone war": Our U.S. passport has very clear instructions about how to loose U.S. citizenship, and one of them is bearing arms for another country. They don't even have to be an enemy country. See item 8 on page 4.This will leave you fair game for any kind of military action, with out citizenship, if you take up arms with enemy combatants.
