"If you sell out your family you’ll sell out your country."

You can't be serious! Look, I had a good buddy in the army. He was an airborne ranger/Special Forces and GAWD knows what else. He was married to a real nutcase of a wife who got preggers to take advantage of his status as an up and coming officer. When he went on those far flung overseas deployments was he a traitor to the country because he snagged a little "strange" on the side? Now you can give ME a break!

We had a little motto we officers used to repeat that simply went like this:
"NEVER DIP YOUR WICK WITHIN 500 MILES OF THE FLAGPOLE" aka....all marriages are null and void when you cross the international date line. Now, mind you...at that time in my life, I was SINGLE. I'm just telling you the prevailing attitude of the married officers. Some of those guys, to be sure modified the range to 500 YARDS of the flagpole, but the principal is the same.

Many of these same guys were later decorated in a wide variety of hostile actions. Are their marital infidelities grounds for treason? You're free to your moral code, but it makes America great that others don't have to abide by them.

BTW, Federal Officers have no local jurisdiction (at this time) unless they can prove some form of federal involvement as in a federal statute broken. For example thats why there is no federal law against MURDER. They have to show a violation of federal rights and that is usually after the state has had it's shot at their level. At least thats what my old law prof said.

I can guarantee you that nobody in my family has ever been quizzed by a medical doctor on our guns! Thats because I let 'em know right off where I stand by giving them my business card as a certified firearms instructor. That goes for my wife's obgyn too. We share the same primary care doc. Now, I've given the CCW CLASS to quite a few docs.....After all, I live in Miami, Florida.

Now that's a real stupid statement. I didn't called adultery treason did I ? Now read it slow and carefully I said, "If you sell out your family you’ll sell out your country." Many have sold out their families and not their country but given the right incentive they would. Or are you telling me that you love your country more than your family? Tell me Capt. when you fight for your country who are your fighting for?

"You're free to your moral code, but it makes America great that others don't have to abide by them. "

When a man gives his word I expect him to live by it. Is that such a tuff code for you to live by?

We are talking act of or conspiring to commit acts of war against the USA.

Guess they don't have to ask do they. I don't understand you Florida statement but I'm sure it a wonderful city.
