If a soldier returned from Iraq; an honorably discharged soldier decorated for valor and bravery in combat; if this soldier came home and publicly decried American conduct in the war, citing war crimes, atrocious, ungodly war crimes that were committed in Iraq by American soldiers. If he stated that the military was not achieving it’s mission of promoting democracy but rather sewing the seeds of hatred and spawning a generation of suicide bombers. If these alleged war crimes were later proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and our failed experiment in democratization was proven mistaken; If this same soldier went before congress and pleaded that we withdraw from Iraq, pleaded that the selfless young men and women serving this country be spared the agony that so many soldiers were forced to endure. If 30 years down the road, all of these soldiers allegations proved legitimate and his criticism pertinent, how would you view him? As a hero, or a traitor who undermined the moral of the troops and went against his country?
