I am totally disgusted by these anti-war groups, who think they are above the law.
"You can refuse to participate in this war," says the missive, mailed last week by four Quebec-based antiwar groups.
"Your deployment in Afghanistan means complicity with the civilian deaths and other activities. . . that are tantamount to war crimes."
It cites the potential for the torture of prisoners transferred by Canadian troops to their Afghan counterparts.
The letter blames media for marginalizing the "Afghani resistance" to foreign occupation as the work of the Taliban, and tells soldiers they will become "cannon fodder" in the war-torn region.
Is this treason? Here's a poll, seems over 65% believe that it is.
Is it treasonous to ask a soldier to refuse duty?
Yes 66%
No 21%
Only if a soldier actually endangers others by their action 14%
Total Votes for this Question: 1759
These groups should be brought before a judge, and made to explain why their letter is not treason.
Our proud soldiers should not have to put up with this garbage.
Here is proof that this letter is treason, found at a great site:
Punishment of seditious offences
62. (1) Every one who wilfully
(a) interferes with, impairs or influences the loyalty or discipline of a member of a force,
(b) publishes, edits, issues, circulates or distributes a writing that advises, counsels or urges insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny or refusal of duty by a member of a force, or
(c) advises, counsels, urges or in any manner causes insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny or refusal of duty by a member of a force,
is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.
Write a letter to your paper, let them know that this is disgusting and groups like those are guilty of bad behaviour at the least, treason at the worst. Stop being the silent majority, start being the vocal majority, we have power in numbers, not only when we vote, but when we get behind an issue that deserves our attention, and this one deserves it.
