Seeing a sheet of paper headed United States of America versus (your name here).

It may be the first time these mopes have ever experienced a sense of proportion in their lives.

What oath are these guys keeping when they turn on their sworn comrades? "Me first and fuck you"?

Assumes loving family attachments not in evidence.

A number of these people have been turned in by relatives, who I expect are quite glad to be shut of them a few years....

...they didn't take that oath.
Just means the family wasn't going to help them keep the pledge!

People keep shtum for three reasons: love, fear, or money.

I can't see how any of these apply among this gaggle of larping revolutionists. They've no real love for one another, there's no one they must fear more than the government, and for damned sure there's no one is going to pay them to sit out a prison term in silence.
