As far as I'm aware - and I'm a foreign immigrant living in the US, so I should know - there are no duties or obligations that I have, other than to obey the laws of the US. I am certainly not required to take any oath of loyalty to the US, nor would I take such an oath. But then again, no US citizen is required to take such an oath either.

As for military service, you make it sound like it's compulsory in the US. Last time I checked, the US had an all-volunteer military. No one is forced to join the military, therefore Americans ARE spared from military service, since no one ever has to join up.
