TREASON - This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance.
The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offense is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, 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.

Publicly accusing US forces of atrocities would defiantly fall into this category.
Pat you need to familiarize your self with the Uniform Code of Military Justice. What a Solider or Officer can say or do is a lot different than a citizens rights.

I rely on the Constitution's protections of the rights of everyone in America. You remember that document, do you not? US government soldiers have full rights, and the US government is required by law to protect those rights.
