1. Yes, yes I am.

2. I believe so. I think you can get military tribunal only if you're in the military, but I could be way off there.

If you are born on American soil (despite parents citizenhip) you are considered American.

Thank you,...

Still want to know the answer on question 2, are the forum profesors awake ?

Not only are you considered American if you are born in the States (regardless of parents), but I have a friend who was born in Canada to two American parents, and he has dual citizenship. Also (this is kinda cool), if you are born in international waters but on a ship with American registry, then you are considered American.

I do know that you don't need to be in a military, per se, to be tried by military tribunal.
