There's a reason why certain people are allowed to keep running their mouths while others are "suicided." They succumbed to the pressure and made a decision to join the bad guys. Those who didn't join well, they were silenced for good.

Unfortunately, it's true. But here's the thing, in a group that depends on loyalty, like the Navy Seals ... or any militaristic body that is expected to express loyalty not only to the members of that group, but to their country ... in succumbing to pressure ... they betray and are a traitor to the group that they swore an oath to. Now the thing is, some of these individuals have already sworn an oath to another group that they believe has a higher importance, but it doesn't matter. In infiltrating a group that that individual had no intention of being loyal to, they betrayed every single individual in that group and their country.

Now we can't say that applies to everyone. Some just sell out for money or because of being blackmailed. Or to keep a loved one safe. It's very difficult to discern motivation because while someone does out themselves sometimes, that underlying reason is their secret. I keep thinking if these individuals would have made the same choices if they knew they would be found out and have to face justice. How will they view this misguided ''loyalty'' then? Will they want mercy when they have showed none? Will they want fairness when they have turned their backs on the weakest in our society -- the children?

As always, thanks for your comment and reply.
