[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1471754, member: 239"] The OP asked about spies without specifying whether it was a foreign spy or a domestic traitor. The implication is he meant domestic spy/traitor. Define spy: Spy: foreign national that detects thru various covert means the ways, means and planned actions of a foreignt country. Traitor: same as spy except the person is doing it against their own country. You guys are a tough crowd for sure but then most would probably agree the real crime of the local spy is treason which is different from spying depending on your relation to the country which is spied on. One is a spy the other a traitor. Historically spies from foreign nations get death. That's just the way it was/is. One has to ask though how is a foreign national that spies on a country any different from a foreign soldier that makes war on a country. Both are doing the job that their county asked them to do. Both are responsible for damaging the other country. Yet the soldier gets a pass whether he kills hundred's of thousands in a bombing raid or is responsible for the death of but a single soldier whereas the spy if captured for reporting the movements of a single ship will/could get death (or maybe traded for a countries own spies that got caught)? Why the difference? Why is the soldier if not honored at least respected while the spy doing what is a much more difficult and usually hazardous job is reviled. Both serve their home nation. Why the different treatment? [/QUOTE]
