Traitor- one who betrays a trust or commits treason. Treason-Attempt to overthrow a government Murder-The killing of a person. No man who went to Canada or to jail because they didn't want to murder for the government, was trying to overthrow that government. No treason there. They would have been traitors, to themselves if they had been blindly led to slaughter.
Are you a veteran? Were you a traitor? Maybe,maybe not. Did you betray a wife or a girlfriend? If not, you're clean on that one. Did you commit treason? Of course you did. You were helping one government to overthrow another. Did you kill even one person? If you did you commited murder.
Peace, B.Smith
