The 5 detainees were scheduled to be transferred out of Gitmo anyway.
I could not care less whether they were or not. Five "commanders" of a tribal faction operating in remote provinces of a country on the other side of the world are worth more than a US soldier? What kind of mindless, cowardly thinking is that? No matter what anyone might think he did (and he is innocent until proven guilty, remember?) he volunteered to go and put his butt in harms way to defend us, and people think we should have left him there to rot because they are afraid of what these five clowns might do? He is a United States soldier and we don't leave our people behind.
"Support Our Troops!" What bullshit.
Fuck you. That tribal faction operating in remote provinces of a country on the other side of the world aided, abetted and protected Al Qaeda.
Remember 9/11?
Now to Bowe. He was AWOL. Of that there is no doubt. He did not serve with "honor and disticntion" as that lying piece of shit Susan Rice tried to pass he off as.
By all means bring him home and investigate his Crocodile Dundee walkabout disappearance.
But the individuals that were traded were 5 top echelon Taliban. One a known mass murderer of Afghan civilians.
