(46,228 posts)Some of us have had the label "traitor" thrown at us over the years because we spoke out against the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, the Afghanistan war and were said to be giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy.
Consequently, some of us are pretty sensitive to the looseness with which some people here are now using the terms treason and traitor.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
