I believe he, being indoctrined into the military, and the difficulty of breaking awayfor reasons too long to discuss here, and yet was able to make that choice and escape (in body and mind) makes him an exceptional human being. I may be called a coward myself, however, if I am ever put in a situation where there is a war and I have a teenaged child and there is an imposed draft, we WILL be moving to Mexico or Canada, guaranteed. War is incoherent. Unless I have to defend my home from foreign invaders, which is no different from other countries being confronted with the likes of us, you will not find me or anyone in my family training to terrorize and kill people. No blame on the soldiers, they are innocent- the pentagon is to blame. I think he is far from being a traitor.
