    What the hell is the WH thinking? The lack by the usual Obama lemmings defending this move speaks volumes to me.

    Somebody should have told Bergdahl to not desert his post, which put his platoon mate in danger. 6 troops were ultimately killed looking for this piece of shit before the US stopped rescue missions for him in 2010. How long has the Obama administration known that the military considered him a deserter, and maybe a traitor, and stopped sending out rescue missions.

    Anyone else think of Homeland when racing about this?

    Nicholas Brody

    Played by Damian Lewis, Nicholas Brody is the husband of Jessica Brody and father to Dana and Chris. He is an ex-Marine who was captured by al-Qaeda and held as a POW for eight years in Iraq. Brody, after years of brutal treatment, becomes sympathetic to Abu Nazir's cause during his captivity and agrees to return to the United States as a sleeper agent.

    Unless Brody was sending emails saying he was ashamed to be an American to his parents prior to deserting, then no.

    What the fuck is this about?

    Geez, now I think I see why Obama wanted to become President. To be in position to piss off as many Americans as possible as many times as possible.

    Perhaps now we can put an underscore under the requirement to be a "Natural Born" citizen.

    I think he would love to swap deserters for every POS in Gitmo.

    I'm not feeling the anger on this one. W let hundreds of guys go from Gitmo. He also negotiated with the bad guys and the level of violence and threat to our personnel went down significantly.

    Obama intends to tuck tail and run away by the end of the year. It seems better to me that some sort of easing of tensions with the Taliban can't hurt.

    I'm also not seeing that guys out of the action for twelve years are really a threat anymore. The world has changed a lot since they saw daylight.

    Talking to the enemy is how peace is achieved. Reagan sure did it. So did Nixon.

    The 6 who died seeking this deserter were honored last weekend. Now we know they died seeking someone who left them.

    Do you even know what Memorial Day is about?

    Good point. Funny how noone seems to address the idea that those 5 Taliban guys released might actually be double agent plants working for us now.

    Having them welcomed by Taliban leadership in Qatar was to throw us all off of the scent. :MARIS61:

    By even saying this, you dishonor the guys I served with who died in war. There is nothing but tragedy in war casualties and it's not exclusive to this incident on Memorial Day. Many soldiers died trying to bail out some asshole in countless wars, this is not different.

    PapaG is the biggest chickenhawk in Portland. Every day he's outraged about a military he ran away from.

    The 6 soldiers died on 5 separate operations, each of which had several purposes other than looking for him, and would have been conducted anyway. They checked worthless leads from their worthless informer network of double agents who, like all Afghans, just want them to leave and stop killing people.

    Maybe the commanders who sent them out should be prosecuted. They had to send out more units after 5 had died? How stupid can you be?

    Until this week, Republicans faked outrage that Obama hadn't freed Bergdahl. Now they fake outrage for the opposite reason. They politicize every war.

    Here's an example of how every right-wing fishpaper does it. I searched FreedomOutpost.com for Bergdahl articles. Note the difference between the 5 older articles vs. the 7 this week.

    Ha ha ha! Flip flopping right-wing rag.

    Your typical lightweight pap. Attack a poster, and then post a bunch of conjecture and lies. Anything to try and defend the indefensible. Hell, you even took a gigantic shit on the lives of 6 good men who by all accounts, including that of their peers, died looking for this piece of shit.

    I do love how you call me a chickenhawk, and then proceed to make your own bold proclamations defending a deserter. No wonder you've never had the balls to meet any posters over the years. I actually feel bad for you. Your posts are a joke on this board, and I imagine life can't be much better for you in terms of the way your actions are viewed.
