(919 posts)Sweethart, from the pocket Constitution I carry:
"AMENDMENT VI (Rights to fair trial) In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his deefence."
This being stated, I still stand by my statement. If you go and train, overseas, with a known terrorist group, I feel that you have given up your Constitutional rights. When the Sixth Amendment was written, the world was not the way it is now. It's sort of like the Second Amendment. Back when that was written, the guns were muskets - not high-powered weapons. Things have to change, and if/when you go train against the country who provided you with certain rights, you then should lose those rights.
