Question

Can a US Citizen join the British Army? I am looking to relocate after serving 8 years with US Marine Corps?

Answer 1

The British have no problems with its western allies joining, these include America. However you will need to find a home there first, or apply to be an abroad assailant for them however these are rare. The UK is currently undergoing many problems and government has tarnished a reputation of great war history however like always, we'll get back on our feet.

Best of luck,

Adam.

Answer 2

You might check with them, but I think so; I certainly have heard of this happening.

However, I question why?  Britain is not a free nation in its present state; criminals get a slap on the wrist while citizens who try to defend themselves against assault find themselves criminalized.  In fact, I once heard of an old lady charged with the crime of "fashioning a weapon" when she used her cane to ward off a mugger.  

The state of justice is grossly misaligned over there.

Therefore, if you would not be defending freedom, what is there to defend?

Answer 3

Deangelo,

I believe you would have to apply for citizenship in the UK.
