Like all the hater dupes on here, you're FOS. Not your fault- CHANGE THE GD CHANNEL.May I offer you a one-way ticket to Afghanistan or Iran?
When you walk away and then join the enemy, and in the process get several men killed when they try to look for you, you are guilty of desertion and treason.
Your OP is based on egregious distortion, and you compound the problem with this nutty view that soldiers should get to desert and help the enemy if they don't agree with the war effort.
Soooo, does Bergdahl want to see the Taliban back in charge of Afghanistan? What exactly does he find objectionable about trying to keep the Taliban and other jihadists from ruling Afghanistan? Because that's what's going to happen if we walk away. That's your idea of a "progressive" position?
