I'd love to see he come home. However, as a military man myself (Captain in the US Army) I know why that won't be very likely. it poses a morality risk among the ranks and would set a bad precedent for operatives who have security clearances handling sensitive information.

It's not my opinion, but many Soldiers in the US Army believe Snowden is a pure traitor. The opinion of most Soldiers I've met is not that Snowden shouldn't have revealed the government's mass surveillance program but rather the fact that he accepted Russian citizenship and has worked for an undisclosed Russian IT company, which many assume might be tied to a spy organization against the US.

I cannot speak to the merits of any of that. I personally believe he was right for disclosing a program that is so counter American values. I was raised to do the right thing, even when the right thing is the most difficult thing in your life. Snowden did the right thing and is still paying the price for it. The man is a gentleman and a scholar. Few men could light a match to his level of integrity.
