I realize everyone is caught up with WAR FEVER and wants to put on trial, if not kill everyone that is not prepared to wave the flag madly around their head.
But I think we need to look a little more deeply into the matter. Walker did not join the Taliban on September 11th and he could not possibly run to the Northern Alliance to give himself up a couple of months ago, otherwise I think he would have been shot either by his friends the Taliban or the Northern Alliance.
What should really concern everyone, is how many US Citizen in the USA are supporters of The Taliban and Al Quida.
These are the people you have to really worry about, no uniform, no long beards, no I love the Taliban badges to identify themselves. They could be policeman, firemen, military (Timothy Mcveigh), Nuclear scientists, Airline pilots (does not need to break down the cabin door), fighter pilots (look out nuclear plants), subway station managers, hospital doctors, football stadium security personnel, the list could go on and on. So we should concentrate on what could effect us, not some 20-year-old that decided to become a Muslim and fight for what he believed in.
And before we say he is a traitor for fighting with he Taliban, it was not to long ago that US government and oil businesses were in serious discussion with the Taliban to have the pipeline go through Afghanistan.
But maybe it's OK if it’s for money, but not OK for ideals that you believe in so strongly you are prepared to die.
(It is sad for him that he had the type of parents he did, but at 20 years of age that is now irrelevant.)
What a absolutely stupid thing to say. They weren't "in serious discussion" to kill American soldiers.
This is not about any "war fever" or that this dirtbag didn't show the right amount of patriotism; he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Taliban and participated in a conflict where his side killed U.S. personnel. He said in his own words that he supported the attack on 9/11. He fought with the enemy against the U.S. -- what part of all that do you find confusing?

That lame excuse doesn't wash. It's a long way from Northern California to Afghanistan, by way of Yemen and Kashmir and Pakistan: this dirtbag was making his choices all along the way, and he consistently chose to side with extremist groups that intended to do harm to the U.S. and it's people. Don't try to make it sound as if he just walked out of his suburban home and suddenly found himself holding a Kalashnikov that was pointed at our guys. He made his choices, several times, and the consequences will follow.

Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about those.

"... fight for what he believed in", eh? You think that's somehow noble of him, don't you? We'll certainly bear in mind that there are terrorists in our midst and keep an appropriate vigil wherever and whenever possible, but somehow I don't think you'll want us to do much about those either. We'll keep our eye out for the 'sleepers' in this country, but that should not stop us from dealing with this traitorous puke in the meantime.

He absolutely is a traitor for fighting on the side of the enemy today. The fact that they were not always our enemy does not absolve him of guilt; we are at war with the Taliban, today - right now, and Walker chose to fight with them against us.
