Punish those who failed to help soldiers in need I was enraged when I read the article in The News about Marine Gunnery Sgt. Aaron M. Kenefick and the four others killed in an ambush in Afghanistan. I suggest that the failure to provide support for troops under fire, if available, would be aiding and abetting the enemy. Treason, as defined in Article 3 Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, is as follows: "Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
Many have charged that President Obama's decision to begin withdrawing from Afghanistan 10 months from now is hampering our war effort. But now it's official. In a stunning statement last week, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway admitted that the July 2011 date is "probably giving our enemy sustenance. A remarkably bold charge for an active military officer. It stops just short of suggesting aiding and abetting the enemy. Yet the observation is obvious: It is surely harder to prevail in a war that hinges on the allegiance of the locals when they hear the U.S. president talk of beginning a withdrawal that will ultimately leave them to the mercies of the Taliban.

Irate that Wasserman Schultz, the co-chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Red-to-Blue program, refuses to endorse opponents to Florida's three Cuban-American Republican U.S. House members, the political blog Swing State Project has gone after her, giving her a nickname that links the lawmaker to the most hated Republican of all and charges that she is aiding and abetting the enemy.

In a stunning statement recently, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway admitted that the July 2011 date is "probably giving our enemy sustenance. A remarkably bold charge for an active military officer. It stops just short of suggesting aiding and abetting the enemy. Yet the observation is obvious: It is surely harder to prevail in a war that hinges on the allegiance of the locals when they hear the U.S. president talk of beginning a withdrawal that will ultimately leave them to the mercies of the Taliban.
Did you know Republicans called for troop withdrawals and demanded Democratic officials' resignations when things were going poorly during World War II? Just like today wasn't it? Of course not. With Democrats in charge, Republicans worked loyally during both World War II and the Korean conflict criticizing Democratic leadership very little. Politicizing war policies, opposing critical funding or aiding and abetting the enemy would have been unthinkable.
