Snowden can be shot also.

"Sacrifice for his country?" What country is his? Now it's Russia, though he wanted to live in South America. He applied for asylum in 21 countries, which refused. That's quite a patriot. Just not sure for who.

The documents he stole & gave away may have caused the deaths of US military, though we may not know that fact for sure.

In March 2014, Army General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the House Armed Services Committee, "The vast majority of the documents that Snowden ... exfiltrated from our highest levels of security ... had nothing to do with exposing government oversight of domestic activities. The vast majority of those were related to our military capabilities, operations, tactics, techniques and procedures."^[105] When asked in a May 2014 interview to quantify the number of documents Snowden stole, retired NSA director Keith Alexander said there was no accurate way of counting what he took, but Snowden may have downloaded more than a million documents.^[106] The September 15, 2016 HPSCI report^[97] estimated the number of downloaded documents at 1.5 million.
