Is there a single real American that does not AUTOMATICALLY pledge the flag?? Answer: NO
If I'm way of base please respectfully let me know but if we bomb Syria to assist the rebels (some of which are al-Qaeda) in removing Assad, wouldn't that be giving aid to a sworn enemy of the United State that we are still at war with?
yes
See my tagline.
It should be noted that in WWII we allied with and fought alongside Stalin, who by any logical definition was our enemy before, during and after the war.

The precise legal definition relevant to the topic at hand is give in Article III Section 3 of the US Constitution.
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.”
It doesn’t make much difference, though, because the “living” Constitution that has evolved over the past century has rendered the written Constitution a dead letter.
Obama has made so many cuts in the national intelligence arena - that the “once most powerful nation in the world” has lowered itself to rely on You Tube videos for world wide situational developments...it’s that nice...I wonder if they are going to budget for future costs if You Tube starts charging everyone to watch???
Correct in your thinking but treason will never be brought up under our current government even though there have been numerous reasons under the current administration.
A more appropriate definition congress should look at:
Moral Courage: the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, or discouragement.
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them,
conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States,
or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.
Congress, JCS, USSC... I am thinking it is a criminal organization...
Which screams RICO!
Our government has been telling us that Islam is a peaceful religion. While not treason, it does give comfort to our enemy.
The world, and America in particular, would be a better place, if we destroyed our enemies (Iraq and Afghanistan) and spent zero American treasure on rebuilding these failed cultures.
Don’t forget the synonym.
SILENT MAJORITY: People who know what is right, but say and do nothing to enforce it.
By definition, Obama cannot commit treason against the United States.
