One definition of treason is "giving aid and comfort to the enemy."

It's actually in the Constitution, Article 3, Section 3: Treason": Section 3 - Treason Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted. If someone actively tries to disrupt military operations during wartime, then they're giving aid to the enemy. Try looking it up for a change.
