Here's an unpopular fact. If he didn't fight against the corruption of the government to save his children some heartache, he's not a true American patriot, he's a bootlicker. If, however, as I suspect is the real motivation, he did it to catch the State in lies, then he is a patriot. You're not a patriot for giving in when they threaten you. You are a patriot for fighting back. People really shouldn't forget that or diminish what true patriots do by calling someone who licks boot a patriot. It diminishes the sacrifices true patriots make to the cause.
