You have two seperate questions.

It would be up the the host country for military service

Any person can give up their citizenship

 
yes, but it has nothing to do with your citizenship, you wouldn't get "kicked out" or lose your citizenship due to joining another countries military

As long as you don't kill USers. That'll get you arrested in the US and condemned to die, I believe.
 
I know that 10% of the British Army is foreign recruits. Mostly from commonwealth countries I think, like the Caribbean, but they would let you in I'm sure. Could probably earn British citizenship that way too.

I thought war crimes aren't punished like that anymore.

It's not. It's only a crime if you, as an American citizen take up arms against your fellow citizens.

I threw the "I believe" in there because I wasn't 100% sure, but I do remember reading something on the subject just the other day. Could be you're just "eligible" for the death penalty.
 
It's interesting to add that U.S. citizenship is not necessarily a barrier to entrance to the U.S. armed forces.

I think the OP might be tired of being an American and wants to serve another country......😕

French Foreign Legion would take you.

Don't count on it. La Legion is very selective these days and are considered an elite unit. Also, their training is quite brutal and sadistic, apparently. Fun stuff!

I would rather serve a different military branch and claim citizenship elsewhere. I am not bashing the united states, I was just merely born and raised here so no hostilitys please. I asked this question to get honest answers not to be flamed.
 
In most countries military service comes after citizenship. The French foreign legion is an exception.

There may be laws against serving in foreign armies, except for people with double citizenship (then again I don't know if the US allow double citizenship). For example Swiss only can serve in the Swiss army or the Swiss Guard by law.
