10. I agree. And he has the right to go to Afghanistan with his next
act, which he knows now will likely get people killed. The least he could do is risk his own miserable life since he's so willing to risk the lives of other innocent people.

But now that he has admitted he intended to 'stir the pot', and since he was warned previously by a U.S. general that his actions could harm U.S. troops, I do not believe his speech is protected.

It is incitement to violence. You cannot incite others to kill. That is not covered by the 1st Amendment no matter what the absolutists say.
