Doesn’t make him any less a traitor to the constitution he swore an oath to.

Had Robert E. Lee not resigned his commission before accepting a commission in the Virginia Militia and later the Confederate Army, but rather had just up and started fighting against the Union, he would have been a full fledged traitor to his military oath.

Yes, those who fought for the Confederacy were considered traitors but Robert E. Lee did not break his US Army Commission Oath as it was not in force when he joined the Confederacy.

I know it is a small point but you seem to harp on it like a bull moose killing a field mouse for supper. It may give you vast pleasure but it is not very filling.

BTW is Obama a traitor for his disregard of the US Constitution? I believe so but as of this date, it is not very filling either.

How can a citizen of the Confederate States of America be guilty of not upholding the constitution of a foreign county, the USA? What poppycock is this?
