Yes.
Current US law says that foreign military service will result in loss of US citizenship if the person served as an officer (commissioned or non-commissioned) or the foreign military force is engaged in hostilities against the US; the service was voluntary; and (most importantly) the person intended to give up his US citizenship.
Current US policy goes further. Unless a dual citizen is serving in a "policy level position" in a foreign government, commits treason against the US (e.g., by fighting the US voluntarily during wartime), or acts in a manner considered totally inconsistent with any possible intent to keep US citizenship, the State Department is unlikely to take any action. Further, the current policy statement on foreign military service recognizes that dual citizens sometimes find themselves legally obligated to participate in the military forces of their other country of citizenship, and can do so in such situations without endangering their US status.

No. The SAS recruits from interior the British military. The British military accepts purely voters of the united kingdom, different Commonwealth international locations, remote places territories or the Irish Republic. human beings aren't any further eligible till they carry twin citizenship. Your first step could be to change right into a British citizen, then connect the British military, do each of the elementary and skills coaching they placed you by, get some adventure and then keep on with for the SAS. of route you're searching at countless years earlier that they'd even evaluate you.

You can be seconded for a 2 year period so basically yes an american can be an SAS trooper for a period, but its not permanent and if you fall in action, it would not be recorded as you were SAS, in fact even British SAS when kIA their parent Regiment is listed.
