Kerry maintains he was a reservist for years after his discharge from active duty.

If so, then meeting with and comforting the enemy is a treasonous action.

And there is no statue on limitations on treason.

Kerry, indeed, was presumably a reservist after his active duty. The oath of an officer of the U. S. Armed Forces states: "I...solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..." This, moreover, has direct application to Kerry's not reporting the manifestly serious discussion by VVAW of assasinating members of the U. S. government. He refused to carry out his oath as an officer, and cannot not in anyway be relied on to carry out the similar oath as President.

Today, an active duty member is required to report any contact with a communist to the government, even if it is accidental. Failure to do so can result in discharge and or revocation of security clearances.

I knew a guy who was discharged from the Air National Guard for marrying a lady from a communist country.

I am not sure how these rules applied then or now to active or reserve members at that time.

And there is no statute of limitations on treason. Also, military status is not a necessary element of the crime of treason. Fonda was and is just as guilty of it as Kerry. But the problem the Bush administration has is essentially the same one Nixon had, namely, that such a trial would become a media circus that could backfire and compromise re-election prospects.
