How about if the parents are serving in the US armed forces and the child is born on a US military base abroad or the child is born at a US embassy abroad.

if the parent is a serving member of the armed forces then they must register the child with the military and the local embassy..........usually the base can do / help you with this, the child will be a USA citizen regardless of where abouts it is born, the whole thing is based on the parents.
The only part it falls apart if when the parents are NOT married as was my case and the USA citizen would not register our youngest with the embassy............years of headaches followed, the NON USA parent can NOT do it on their behalf, it HAS to be the us parent..........
But yes to answer your question ANY child does regardless of the country it was born in...........just get ducks in row with the embassy

A child born to two US citizens acquires citizenship at birth, wherever he or she is born. It is citizenship by descent that is working in such a case.
The fact that the child might be born on a military base is irrelevant; and nobody is ever born in a US embassy. Birth at/on either of these places would NOT confer US citizenship. US military bases and diplomatic posts are NOT US "sovereign territory" (whatever people think that means, they're wrong!) for the acquisition of citizenship.
A child born abroad who has a single US citizen parent might also be entitled to US citizenship, but there are some restrictions in such a case.

No. A natural-born U.S. citizen is a U.S. citizen, and that doesn't change, ever. What matters is that the father meets the 10/5 residency requirement of the U.S. Department of State.

They are given a American "born abroad" birth certificate.

yes. they become citizens, But they also have the choice of becoming a citizen in the country where they were born, or of having dual citizenship in that country. It all depends on the relationship that country has with the US

Yes. It should be the same for illegal immigrants' anchor babies. They have to go back to Mexico or wherever they came from with Mexican (or whatever nationality) citizenship instead of remaining here, joining gangs, and draining our economy.
