Treason should be treated as such and the penalty is death. No one has the guts to do it anymore. I only hope that we aren't forced to wake up to the fact that this is a war anytime soon. Our forefathers knew that there would be cowards and that they would have to be dealt with to keep from killing the fighting spirit of our soldiers.
My son is in the US Navy and if he pulled such a stunt I would carry out the penalty myself. Not that I have to worry about it, he has a good head on his shoulders and is not a coward.
The problem is that the talking heads are trying to make names for themselves by being against the war. Thay are so childish and self-absorbed that they think by following in the footsteps of those against the Vietnam war that they will make a name for themselves. I would urge them to consult Jane Fonda and the like about that. However this has a detrimental effect on our fighting force as they think the people are against the war and they are doing what is popular. Some people never grow out of their high-school days.
Please tell your son I said
Thank You for your service to our country.
