My point, the young man KNOWINGLY committed treason, as its written in our laws, and the laws of many other nation's.
This is precisely where our views diverge, Trobinet.
This young man has commited a CRIME prescribed in the US constitution and therefore he can be jailed, but he did not commit any act of TREASON because he never officially pledged to defend the US and its constitution, as an adult.
Start calling his crime aiding and abetting enemy combatants instead of treason and we will reach perfect agreement.
