It sounds like he’s favoring fragging (i.e. murdering) American officers to have a more “impactful effect” on the war effort. The video is here. I’d like to hear more of the remarks in context. Of course, Churchill’s an evil ass-hat (nod to Glenn Reynolds for the phrase), but his comments might have been more hypothetical than this lets on. He does seem to ask it in a hypothetical way. I raise this solely because it’s relevant to the screaming matches one gets into people who love evil ass-hats and hence try to split hairs seven ways from Sunday. If it’s just a hypothetical he’s just a repugnant idiot. If he’s endorsing it, we’ve finally found an example of speech on the left I think is truly deserving of the label “treasonous.”
