[Bigun]

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."

I’m not even sure I want to call it treason. There’s a certain intellect to treason. How we handled Vietnam was just stupid. Getting into a war that you don’t actually want to win is dumb, it’s something no traitor would contemplate because they’d never figure it would work. Who would think you could actually get a country to commit it’s forces to a war, a war those forces in under 6 months from the start if they were just allowed to actually fight the damn thing, and then not let them fight it? It’s an absurd concept, beyond the dreams of the most far reaching traitor, but we pulled it off just by being dumb enough to do it.
