Who let the nut out?
First off, the war in Afghanistan was declared by the President and Congress by an overwhelming margin after 9/11. It's LEGAL under the Constitution.
Bergdahl also joined the Army and subjected himself to the UCMJ of his own free will. Nobody kidnapped him or forced him into that decision.
He also deserted his unit and went looking for the Taliban of his own free will. That decision cost the lives of six of his fellow soldiers.
Well, besides the questionable statement that anyone died looking for him, I ask the questions again-
If it was so clear that he had "deserted", why didn't the Army list him as a deserter at the time? Why did they continue to promote him when he was in captivity?
He should have been left there with his Taliban buddies where he could take his chances with the drone strikes, but since we have him back, he should be shot.
We didn't shoot Rusty Calley for murdering hundreds of women and children, we aren't going to shoot this guy.
If the Moon bats don't agree with this, I think they are a disgrace and enemy sympathizers, and should move over there and join their terrorist buddies. Like that useless coward Bergdahl, they can actually benefit us more if they try to help the other side and screw up their day.
Any questions?
Um, yeah, why were so many Republicans calling for Obama to do everything he could to get the guy released.
Republicans Couldn t Wait for the Facts of Bowe Bergdahl Taliban Swap - US News
- Sarah Palin before: “Todd and I are praying for Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl, his family, and all of his fellow soldiers who are putting their lives on the line to defend our freedom and protect democracy abroad,”
- Sarah Palin after the release: “No, Mr. President, a soldier expressing horrid anti-American beliefs – even boldly putting them in writing and unabashedly firing off his messages while in uniform, just three days before he left his unit on foot – is not 'honorable service.' Unless that is your standard.”
- Former Rep. Alan West, R-Fla., before: “Then there is Army SGT Bowe Bergdahl still held by the Islamic terrorist Haqqani network, probably in Pakistan, in the same place where Osama Bin Laden was hiding. This past POW/MIA national day of recognition, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel reiterated a pledge to secure the young Army NCO being held captive, but have there been any actions? Any time, attention, or even mention from the Commander-in-Chief? Nah, no camera highlights in it for him.”
- Alan West after the release: “Ladies and gentlemen, I submit that Barack Hussein Obama’s unilateral negotiations with terrorists and the ensuing release of their key leadership without consult — mandated by law — with the U.S. Congress represents high crimes and misdemeanors, an impeachable offense.”
