How about foreign active duty, foreign military, and foreign veterans?

The Economist had an interesting article on how "America's love affair with uniformed men ... leads to a lot of fuzzy thinking about the armed forces... Most obviously, it gives the Department of Defense an outsize advantage in the battle for resources with civilian agencies. Today’s cuts to the State Department, whose officers are not noticeably less patriotic or public-spirited than America’s soldiers, are a dismal case in point."
