An Austrian friend of mine lost his citizenship because he joined the French Foreign Legion.
If a Brit joins the French Foreign Legion, or any other foreign army, they would be committing a crime but it's punishable by fines and imprisonment.
Apparently it doesn't apply if you have dual citizenship. So presumably anyone with Bangladeshi ancestry can join the Bangladeshi army.

I don't think it's that unusual or is because she was of Bangladeshi heritage. You can't update
fundamental laws like that by just what's in the news cycle.

I looked it up and it's still the law and it's says explicitly even if it makes the person stateless.
