Just curious- the US had to give permission for hte thousands of Americans who fought in the Spanish Civil War? Those that joined with Canada for part of the Korean conflict? (these are the 2 I'm thinking off the top of my head).
Also- does anyone know if those with dual-citizenship need permission from the US to fulfill military requirements of the other nation they have citizenship? (Taiwan, Israel, S. Korea are three that come to mind)
