Interesting point.
Eliminate the concept of treason by the simple expedient of never declaring a war.

There might be a message there.
I think it's a huge mistake to eliminate the reality of Treason.
There is something of unintended consequences after having fought 5 wars without declaring them as wars.

Perhaps that should end.
Let's be sure up front of two things.
The war is justified, in our own minds and no one else's.
And treason will be dealt with the old-fashioned way.

Otherwise no more conflicts.
