I don’t think Obama is going to let the military hold him accountable to for is desertion much less his possible treason as it seemed quite clear he was going to join the enemy’s camp.
Such a trial would only embarrass Obama, and if Obama has demonstrated anything thing over the last 6 years, he wont allow any law to be enforced that embarrass him politically if he can stop it.
I had a friend of mine who served in Vietnam. Most nights he would stick a 45 in his belt and go outside the wire to visit the nearby prostitutes. He was 18 and a bit crazy, but he wasn’t a deserter. We should give this guy a fair trial before we convict him.
If I were him, I’d want to avoid a fair trial. I have no problem with having a fair trial, but what he needs is a trial that’s tainted in his favor with command influence coming from his commander in chief. A fair trial will convict him of desertion.
