Looking for loopholes
Most countries require at least three visa stamps before an invasion although they are allowed to skip the "do you intend to overthrow the government question".Originally Posted by Mr JP Fugley

I can understand if they are like just visiting a Country. I assume they must have one the same as anyone else, even if they are on military duties.
However not for the serious business of soldiering.

The US have huge numbers of soldiers posted in Japan, S Korea and Germany. These are not active roles as such and consequently they tend to go in and out under normal rules. Due to the rotation of troops most get a stint in one of these slots and therefore need a passport. I like the idea of lining up for a visa stamp though - very Duck Soup.

I couldn't be arsed with it last night.
Basically if you're travelling for private/civilian reasons you need one. I should also imagine that if you're going to a base overseas in peacetime different countries will have different passport/Visa requirements. If you're on military business invading a country like Iraq, you would only need a military ID. Clocker of course was suggesting that Americans prefer to go to Iraq because it's more fun than England (you can pretty much torture indiscriminately over there and no one tells you off if in high spirits you accidentally shoot a friend. There is also ice cream and McDonalds on demand). I made a humorous quip about it being a bit excessive to go to war just to avoid getting a passport given that last time I looked only a third of Americans had them. However this point managed to deftly sidestep the Clockmeister and caused a serious sense of humour failure. That's where we're at so far.
To bring us up to date, I can't quite see the invading American forces queueing up at Iraqi passport control languidly kicking the tracks of their tanks waiting for their passports to be checked, tutting loudly about how long it took for their luggage to come through on the carousel.

Perhaps not - but in my world them would be the rules
Clocker rarely has a failure on the humour front so one suspects he is being a bit of a tease

Ah! Then I should have got into a long boring dialogue about it rather than just giving up? I'll remember for next time.
