My issue is his affiliation with Veterans for Peace, more than his status as a front line or support personnel.
To me, that makes no difference whatsoever, as you said. However, his affiliation with that putrid anti-American group is what put him and me on opposite sides.
I don’t wish for harm to him, and hope he recovers, but if he swam in those waters, he brought misfortune on himself and has no one to blame apart from himself, in my opinion.
The goulish Left, however, would love a martyr.
That would be the “ghoulish” Left...
I also take issue with those numb-sculls. I am torn as to whether or not I will ill on him and his type. At the very least I hope he learns a very valuable lesson and repents in his wrong thinking.
