Testifying before congress about crimes against humanity hardly makes one a traitor, that is unless you are of the opinion that killing unarmed women and children should be kept between friends. Anytime a war is fought with no clear goal, and in a guerilla style, you will have even the best soldiers succomb to crimes against humanity, as we have seen in IRAQ already. That's not to say that all are doing it, as I certainly do not believe that to be true, but a soldier starts to hate the indigenous people as he and his buds slowly start to get waxed by guerilla tactics. Mistrust of the public you're there to help leads to abuse. It's as old as war itself. All crimes against humanity should be shouted from the highest hilltop and to all corners of the world, no matter who the culprits are.
His testimony was a LIE, it has been proven he was not where he claimed to be when the events occurred and in fact he is guilty of perjury. He refuses to sign off on the release of his service record and in fact he didn't even get an actual discharge until CARTER gave him one. His "Winter Soldier" testimony is a known and proven LIE, and everyone in the military knows it. That is the reason he will NEVER sign off to release his records. Along with the fact he was NEVER in Cambodia as he claimed, and he put himself in for every "decoration" he was awarded.
And, just so you know, meeting with North Vietnamese officials in Paris while wearing his uniform but not being authorized to do so IS
TREASON. He did it, and he brags about it.
