Gen. Jack Keane: This could have been a disastrous attack by a radicalized ISIS person

A U.S. Army soldier has been sentenced to 14 years in prison having pleaded guilty to attempting to assist the Islamic State terror group on how to ambush his fellow soldiers in the Middle East during conversations in which he believed he was speaking with a terrorist.

Cole Bridges, 24, of Stow, Ohio, was handed down the sentence after a nearly five-hour Manhattan federal court proceeding in which he surprisingly requested he be given a maximum 40-year sentence. Bridges pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in June 2023.

"Honestly, I do believe that I deserve the maximum sentence," Bridges told Judge Lewis J. Liman. "I know what I did was wrong," he said, adding he would carry "regret for as long as I live."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Shouldn't he have gotten the death penalty for wanting to abet the enemy?  Isn't that treason?   I have to believe that's why he asked for the 40 years, to plea bargain against the death penalty. *hmmmm*
