Remember Ward Churchill? (http://www.pirateballerina.com/blog/entry.php?id=158) He’s the professor from Colorado who compared the victims of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center to Nazi Adolf Eichman.
Well he’s at it again, this time pushing the murder of military officers as a way to stop the war.
You cannot maintain a military projection of force in the field when your own troops are taking out the line officers who are directing them in combat. It is as simple as that. Conscientious objection removes a given piece of the cannon fodder from the fray; fragging an officer has a much more impactful effect.
Does this mean he is committing treason?
Treason is the violation of allegiance toward one’s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one’s country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
Now tell me why Ward Churchill’s words are not treasonous? He is actively encouraging the murder of our military officers as a way to bring about victory for the enemy. Should he not be tried for treason and jailed?
