Just a thought.
Exactly, the training was provided at no cost and the government is entitled to decide how it gets used. There are controls on the export of defence related equipment and weapons systems, the knowledge of how to operate them should fall under the same regime.
Anyone who has served in the defence forces offering their services to a potential enemy of their country is treason. Their knowledge of tactics and our weak points would be invaluable to an aggressor in any future conflict. They deserve to be locked up.
