Lived in Fairborn as a kid in the 70’s. Col. Glenn Hwy. got it’s name in the 60’s. My Dad worked in a office park just off it for years.

Don’t fret over those trashing the man. Some of the chicken littles around here couldn’t hold a jock strap to this Marine. He accomplished more in his time in the Corps than most loud mouthed keyboard jockeys have in their entire lives.

God speed fellow Marine and Semper Fi sir. The our watch now begins at the pearly gates

Arnold has at least two monuments at Saratoga and West Point, though neither bears his name.

That said, you cannot compare political differences to actual treason.

The Constitution has a very specific definition of treason. Nothing John Glenn did meets that definition.

“And it’s not right to speak ill of the dead.”

I speak ill of Ted Kennedy. And LBJ. And John McCain. And I spoke ill of John Glenn when he was alive. Chinese money going to the Clintons, and John sold out. Hope he repented on his deathbed. If not, he can talk about it with Ted & LBJ.

Is selling secret military technology to an enemy foreign power treason? Is covering up those crimes treason?

Glenn helped do the first and did the second, If that's not treason, I don't know what is.

You should research Clinton's transfer of MIRV missile technology to the Chinese, and who helped cover it up.

John Glenn's name will pop right up.

Yes! in the end he sold out the American people he swore to represent. It was embarrassing watching him grovel during the hearings on the Clintons. The Clintons always bring people down Nobody should look over the fact that he sold out for a shuttle ride. He could have been a hero throughout, HE choose not.

I was in a five-man DoD office that was required to review that type of transfer of certain technologies and equipment. Not only did we all say no, but HELL NO!. The Clintoon administration overrode us and allowed the release technology to be installed on that missile, which not only never made it into space but the entire bus was never found by our investigators at the crash site.

The five of us wondered if it had ever been installed on that missile in the first place. I believe it had not and the entire launch and crash was the cover up for the illegal transfer of that critical technology.

A hero in the military and a pioneer who emblified the very definition of "The Right Stuff." Unfortunately he sold his soul to jump onto the cause of gun control and make that a signature issue throughout his tenure in the Senate. So he was a hero in space and a "SPACE CASE" on the 2nd Amendment.

I’ve got a brother like that. Strange animal.

Because he was in the Marines. Or in space. Or something.

Also helped BJ commit treason giving technology to the Chinese.
