Reading all these articles and hearing all these pundits talk about Johnny Bin Walker as being treasonous and being the lowest thing on earth has made me wonder.
First, how can it be treason when he is no longer a citizen. Second, although I think the guy should be killed, he gets more respect from me for having the guts to go over their and live up to his anti-American sentiments, than do these cowardly America haters over here that still enjoy the benefits of being an American citizen.
How many times have we told these creeps that if they were serious they would go over and take up arms with the Taliban. Well, that is exactly what Johnny did.
I saw a recent thread comparing Johnny to Benedict Arnold. I don't see a similarity. Benidict was just looking out for his own @$$ and did so in a deceitful way. Johnny came right out and went to Afghanistan and openly fought with the side he felt was right.
You got guts Johnny, and you did stand up for your beliefs, so I respect ya. But then, I would be glad to be the one to put the bullet into your head, because you are on the wrong side.
Actually he is our most important link to what the taliban was like on the inside, and he may have real future value for us working in the CIA after he gets his head corrected. After all, if Bin Laden was a CIA guy, why couldn't this kid be one?
He will make a mint on the college lecture circuits, guaranteed. Hey, it's not like he sold out his country like Clinton did.
Yeah, because all I do is talk about Libertarians. Sure, right, uh huh, yeah, whatever. I'm talking about a more powerful force in America, LIBERALS! Which I think a few Libertarians such as Harry Browne and Lewser Rockwell are joining.
He still is an American citizen.
You got guts Johnny, and you did stand up for your beliefs, so I respect ya.
The same could be said of Hitler.
True, that speaks volumes of the anti-America cowards.
Last time I read the federal rule, one who takes up arms with a regime opposing the US, officially renounces his citizenship.
Major agreement here. I'll have to pass on the rest of your post though.
I don't admire him, I simply respect his guts to stand up for what he believes, however what he believes is absolute $#!# and he should die for fighting against us. I have less respect for those that sit and say that America got what we deserved and still go about their lives as blessed Americans.
But then they can't enjoy the freedom that comes with our Republic, can they? They want their cake and eat it, too.
Pray tell---what more do we need to know?
Obviously he became untied at some point - probably during the upheaval after the attack that killed the CIA agent.
Wasn't he caught FIGHTING?
No, he was caught like a wet rat after being flushed out of the prision which had been flooded with water. This was after bombing and rocket attacks and plenty of ground fighting where all the taliban who resisted were killed.
