Noooo, Joooish traitors never serve or have served in the US military, now do they? Ha ha ha.Combat in Saudi Arabia? When was that? Ha ha ha.
I see that plaque with Arabic writing that you've whited out the top because it has your Muslim name due to conversion during your service abroad. It happens.
I went to Saudi with the Corps after serving a tour in Vietnam. The plaque is from the entrance of my villa it is in English and Arabic. Officer's quarters were individual villas in Saudi.
Serving in the U.S. Army is not something you dual loyalty types do, is it.
There are currently over 150 types of dual (and triple) citizens living in the US so I assume by "dual citizen" you are referring to the usual antisemitic canard that goes on among neo Nazi groups and in Islamic shitholes.
You are debasing your service and insulting all those who have served with your anti Americanism and bigotry. Most vets in fact, without a question are strong supporters of Israel.
Most veterans support the U.S., not Israel, and most veterans remember the Liberty. I am talking about those with dual nationality. Can't be trusted whether Jew or Muslim or Christian.
"IRAQ VETERANS AGAINST THE WAR STATEMENT ON GAZA

Over the last three weeks, we at Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) have watched with dread the endless bombing of Gaza, leading to the senseless killing of now more than 1,300 Palestinians and the destruction of their homes, lives and livelihoods.
In the past we have announced our support of the right to self-determination for Palestinians, alongside our firm conviction of the illegality and dehumanizing nature of the blockade of Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank. This moment is no different.
The US government has continually provided arms and money to Israel to the tune of $3.1 billion per year. It is our own country’s weaponry that is causing the deaths of entire families in Gaza. We see it as our duty to resist the steady grinding militarization of our foreign and domestic policies and we stand in solidarity with those resisting the same efforts overseas, both the Palestinian people and the Israeli reservists who have refused to serve in this conflict."

Americans find meaning in Israeli military service
Americans find meaning in Israeli military service
Americans, who may serve in foreign armies without losing their U.S. citizenship, have a long tradition of fighting in other countries' conflicts. Thousands joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade to battle the fascist forces of Gen. Francisco Franco in Spain. Hundreds signed up with the Canadian military to fight in Europe before the United States entered World War I, and again before the U.S. entered World War II.
Foreigners, meanwhile, have fought on the American side in every major conflict from the Revolution forward. For many, it's a fast track to citizenship: The United States has naturalized more than 89,000 service members and veterans since Sept. 11, 2001.
Israel classifies its foreign volunteers as Lone Soldiers — those without parents in the Jewish state. Of the 4,000 now on active duty, the U.S. contingent is the largest, followed by Russians, Ukrainians, French and Canadians. (Israeli orphans, and others without family support, also are classified as Lone Soldiers.)
Through the IDF and supporters such as Friends of the IDF, the Lone Soldier Center and others, they are connected to adoptive families in Israel and granted extra leave and plane tickets to visit their home countries. But they are otherwise fully integrated into the military, where the requirements and expectations of the foreigners are the same as those of native Israelis, for whom military service is compulsory.
