"What was K's status when he testified before Congress, went to Paris, etc?"

Yet another excellent, relevant question that Unfit for Command raises and answers. Kerry was inactive in the Navy Reserve until July '72, when he was moved to the Standby Reserve; it was only at that point that he could call himself a civilian. In other words, when he committed perjury before Congress, gave aid and comfort to the enemy, and met with a hostile foreign power to negotiate a separate peace, he was still subject to the UCMJ. Kerry is, in the narrow legal definition of the word, a traitor.

Thank you!

This does beg the question.....why did the authorities not pursue this misconduct??
