Haven't the policies regarding those issues changed over the years, directly as a result of problems arising from clearance/citizenship conflicts?

I have no idea how things have changed over the decades, but the IDF seems to have been accepting recruits with U.S. citizenship as recently as this past summer. http://www.latimes.com/nation/nation...721-story.htmlOriginally Posted by jcustis

That has been a long-standing practice among Jews who are not Sabras, but want to serve Israel's armed forces. Common enough that I've seen a number of news articles about it and a Nat Geo expose from the 1970s.
I've seen it go hand in hand with working on a kibbutz for some youth.
OK, that was my general impression, but I haven’t ever known anyone falling into the category, so I wasn’t entirely sure.
[An aside, at the danger of going to too far off into the weeds. I do know someone who worked on the only pig-farming kibbutz. I asked him if it is a Christian kibbutz, and he said, “No. Just very secular.”]

Joel--to hold higher than a Secret then in fact one must be a US citizen and the question of dual citizenship becomes interesting as the US says if one takes an oath of allegiance to another military power then no US service-or if service then none with a clearance is allowed--that has not changed.
