Maybe he got his inspiration from George Washington, another famous Fairfax resident and rebel!

I wonder if he lived in Reston -- all those earth tones would have made him feel right at home.

That's at the crux of the issue. Let's hope his experience in Fairfax was a positive one and not one that would cause him to embrace an un-American form of government.

It used to be if an American national fought for a foreign army they would lose their American citizenship. I guess with so many American Jews fighting for the IDF that the USA looks the other way now.

I'm not sure if he's a citizen...the article does state that he got asylum in the U.S. though.

Yes, that must be it. It's all the Jews' fault.

Lets hope when he gets home he believes in allowing academic freedom.
