To bad so sad, he made his loyalties known, he was killed in a battle not in the USA. Feel sympathy for him fine, I do not. He made his positions known a multitude of times and suffered the consequences.
No sympathy, troll. Read my posts. Just saying that using news reports as the factual foundation for an extra-judicial murder of an American is a really really really bad idea, especially for our grandchildren. Government, by it's very nature, takes any shred of power it can, and expands it over time. (income taxes were to be only 1%, and only on the wealthy, so we allowed a Constitutional change.)
I'll toast his demise with you over your favorite libation... But the manner of the execution should make any intelligent person pause.
