Well that really depends on what you think the troops actually did go into Iraq for. The offical story is to unseat a dictator and install 'freedom & democracy', if that's what you think then surely an American would be the best choice? America has took it upon itself to make sure the job is done properly and that means ensuring freedom and justice in court. Acting independently of the government to ensure justice in the Saddam trial is hardly being a traitor, Ramsey Cark is just aware of the various emotional and nationalistic biases that relate to the trial; he doesn't think justice should only apply to people you like.
If anyone has spat on the US armed forces it's the current administration. Do you really think the soliders wanted to be flown halfway across the world to die for someone else's freedom?
