is the right wing going to call them traitors too?

No, but you can find anybody willing to say anything if you search enough. I'm sure you'll find some soldiers that worship the devil too if they were doing a story of paganism in the military. It also doesn't help that we've had pretty much half our congress turn against them.

You can find people to prove & bolster any opinion. I know enough soldier's to prove those against are traitors. It does not make it so & I do not believe them to be traitors just wrong.
My son & his men do not & will never stand against the Commander in Chief's military positon. It is called chain of command & criticizing a direct leader publically is punishable by court martial. It is not done very often but it does break the training every soldier took an oath to follow.

Nice generalization. Throughout history there has always been a small number of soldiers who question the war they are fighting, but to phrase this questions as to say a majority of them, or even a large minority of them, oppose the war in Iraq, is nothing more than a fallacy.
The 8 soldiers in this video are not traitors. They are thinking adults who have the luxury of questioning their country. The fact remains that they are still a very small minority within the armed forces.

Certainly, they went after the Helicopter Pilot who stopped the My Lai Massacre.

You cant blame the solders for feeling that way because they know first hand that the war if futile with the monumental loss of human life, Who give's a dam what the Neo Conservatives say All that matters is when this lop sided mess does stop it will save a tremendous amount of troupes.

I'm not surprised at all. I know men who came back from Viet Nam saying that it was all a hideous mistake, so why shouldn't it be true for Iraq, too? Military men and women are required to do as they are told, but no one said they have to like it. I imagine their inclination is to LOOK for reasons to agree with the war, because no one wants to die for a bad cause. It must feel awful to put yourself in harm's way for something you discover you don't believe in.

how can a small # of soldiers represents the whole? In VN War, only some groups of soldiers thought the war is wrong, the others are proud to fight in VN War.

Did you see the segment on 60 Minutes last night? It was excellent.
