Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution:
Treason against the United States shall
consist only in levying War against
them, or in adhering to their Enemies,
giving them Aid and Comfort. No
Person shall be convicted of Treason
unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses
to the same overt Act, or on Confession
in open Court.
Failure to comply with a draft may be illegal, but it cannot be construed — in and of itself — as treason. Treason requires an active support of our enemies, and not merely a passive failure to oppose them.

I thought conscientious objection was already treason over there, knowing that the United States is really the Amerikanische Reich...

Refusing the draft has never been considered treason.
But consciencious objection is a pretty hard case to prove-and you can always be a combat medic and not have to bear arms.
What are blockades?

Anyone else hate it when marines seperate themselves from the rest of the military?

Would the military tell us the real truth about the status of our various wars? Doesn't the military have a vested interest in war?

Should they have kept "don't ask don't tell"?

Friendly fire? Nothing friendly about it. Is there such thing as friendly retaliation?

You're reading When the military draft comes back by unpopular demand, will consciencious objection be considered a treasonous offence in the United States of America?
