It's not illegal, but serving in a foreign military or employment with a foreign government in a military role is considered a voluntary forfeiture of US citizenship. Merely taking civilian employment with a foreign government does not jeopardize your citizenship, though you are forbidden from taking an ELECTIVE office in other countries.
It has been overlooked at various times (e.g. the Flying Tigers in China, and US volunteers to the RAF/RFC during both WW2 and WW1), but the law is pretty clear on this subject.
If you are a dual-citizen of Another Country, then service in that country's (and ONLY that country's) military is NOT a forfeiture, as you were fulfilling your citizenship's duties to that country. So, if you're a dual Israeli-US citizen, you can serve in the IDF with no problem at all.
