So, Groberg would have had to taken whatever steps the Army felt was necessary to terminate his French citizenship. He says that he considered this for two years before finally joining the Army as an officer. Plenty of time to consider his options and set the legal process in motion.

This is not a requirement. Security clearances are determined individually. Department of Defense security guideline states that "possession and/or use of a foreign passport may be a disqualifying condition" and that "foreign citizenship possesses little security significance if based solely on birth in a foreign country." As France has been an ally of the United States since 1776, a French-born dual citizen who who lived in the US since childhood and is the child of a natural born American citizen would be of minimum concern. The most important thing is you must express a willingness to renounce dual citizenship and hand over your passport. Per Guidance to DoD Central Adjudication Facilities (CAF) Clarifying Application of the Foreign Preference Adjudicative Guideline: "The security concerns underlying this guideline are that the possession and use of a foreign passport in preference to a U.S. passport raise doubt as to whether the person's allegiance to the United States is paramount and it could also facilitate foreign travel unverifiable by the United States. Therefore, consistent application of the guideline requires that any clearance be denied or revoked unless the applicant surrenders the foreign passport or obtains official approval for its use from the appropriate agency of the United States Government. " There is nothing to indicate Groberg actually terminated his French citizenship in the French court, just that he would have to renounce it. To say "I renounce my birth country" when it is not true in your heart is very difficult and emotional. —Мандичка^YO 😜 05:49, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

-Almost all U.S. military officers are required to have at least a SECRET security clearance, and dual citizens likely would have issues getting one.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.apd.army.mil/jw2/xmldemo/r380_67/main.asp#p0I-5|title = Appendix I

-* Concern. Foreign contacts and interests may be a security concern if the individual has divided loyalties or foreign financial interests, may be manipulated or induced to help a foreign person, group, organization, or government in a way that is not in U.S. interests, or is vulnerable to pressure or coercion by any foreign interest. Adjudication under this guideline can and should consider the identity of the foreign country in which the foreign contact or financial interest is located, including, but not limited to, such considerations as whether the foreign country is known to target United States citizens to obtain protected information and/or is associated with a risk of terrorism.
-* Concern. When an individual acts in such a way as to indicate a preference for a foreign country over the United States, then he or she may be prone to provide information or make decisions that are harmful to the interests of the United States.
