    Just as expected, Obama is much more aggressive his second term and I don't think is overly concerned with what people think.

    Should have consulted congress, IMO.

    Extremely disturbing comments from the highest levels of Army brass. Appears their sense of duty and sworn oaths are not regarded as binding if they don't like a soldier's political views, or if he has a mental breakdown from the pressures of war. No need to rescue you unless it's going to be a cakewalk. Wouldn't want to get our uniforms dirty.

    The Marines, on the other hand, mean every word when they say No Man Left Behind.

    Good stuff to know if you're enlisting.

    The AP is now smearing the soldiers who dare to speak against Bergdahl as GOP puppets. I wonder if they even knew who "co-owner Richard Grenell" was prior to receiving the talking points from Jay Carney?

    Panic mode. How long will Obama stay in Poland? The military isn't going to allow Obama and his media to smear them for a deserter, no matter if even the Koch brothers paid for getting these soldiers in front of the cameras. The liberal CHICKENHAWKS are shaking in their pajamas over this 'fuck you' to the military.

    As expected, Brad Chase, the other owner, has worked on Democratic campaigns, and also has fought to bring back legitimate Americans trapped overseas. He's also written articles for that right-wing site called The Huffington Post.

    Our media is a joke.

    Bowe Bergdahl was born and raised in America, ENLISTED in the army, performed well enough in Afghanistan to be promoted to Sargent, and endured 5 years of torture and confinement as a prisoner of war.

    He's as legitimate as Americans come.

    Congress was given the mandatory 30 day notice before the OBL assassination. Why not for this 'prisoner' exchange?

    Lee Harvey Oswald was also born in the US and enlisted in the Marines. He's as legitimate as Americans come.

    What point were you trying to make? The usual nonsense?

    Oswald was a scapegoat for political expediency, as is Bergdahl. Evidence of any crimes by either is based primarily on conjecture.

    What point were you trying to make?

    You have me at a disadvantage as I have no idea how to post links with my phone.

    Try to visualize my reply as a picture of an ostrich named PapaG with his head in the sand.

    Yes, I'm sure Obama sleeps in, doesn't work very hard and is just coasting his second term.

    Your extremest attitude with Obama is only matched by KS extremest attitude with the Blazers. :)

    My calendar is busier than Obama's, and I don't get to go watch SportsCenter every night.

    Keep Hope and Change alive!
