You would be surprised how some foreign countries interpret our 14th Am. For a long time, rich South Korean women have come to the U.S. to give birth, partly so sons can claim that as U.S. citizens they are exempt from South Korea’s mandatory military service. South Korean government doesn’t buy it and takes the position that they are not validly U.S. citizens but instead are Koreans and must serve.
Here’s an example, the infamous Nut Rage Lady, son of the president of Korean Air Lines president, who attacked a KAL steward and had him fired for serving her macadamia nuts in the bag instead of in a silver bowl.
“Ms Cho, who is married to a well-known plastic surgeon, was criticised last year for engineering a move to work in Hawaii two months before giving birth to twin boys. It meant that her sons would be granted US citizenship, thus avoiding the need to serve two years of mandatory military service in South Korea.”
