US soldier freed from captivity in Afghanistan

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Whatever. The only part you actually saw me highlight, (and that is of course, if you can see) was the part about other Presidents taking some kind of action on hostage negotiations and that Obama was not the first. Bingo

And sticking to everything I have originally stated before, we needed him back. How in the halibut do I know why after 5 years they wanted him back. I don't actually care. We need Snowden back too. Traitors don't deserve to live a life overseas. They need to be brought back and handled. Sorry you don't like my stance.

Again, I understand your point, but I still have my own. If you don't agree, no biggie. It doesn't hurt to not have the exact same view as someone else.

You know the blind Obama supporters have emptied the Well when all they have is

A. Bush's fault . can also be "conjure up any conservative in history that even remotely did anything similar to what is going on today. It makes it ok.

Blind Obama supporters?

Please post a copy of my voting pattern and people I have voted for in the past.

And again, the article did not just talk about Bush only. You have a really hard time reverting back to articles when posting.

As a Marine how does he make you feel that the Susan Rice said he served with honor and distinction ?

You and I, know better. There is no honor or distinction in putting your weapon down and leaving your base of operations in a combat zone.

This guy does not deserve any praise, he does deserve an Article 32

If he has an Article 32 coming so be it. For now there is nothing but a lot of hot air and allegations.

I honestly think that this Admin is so out of touch and that so many of his advisers are liberal elitist, that have no clue about the Military, they really thought exchanging 5 top leaders of our enemy, for this deserter , would appease a lot of the veteran groups that are so up in arms about the VA scandal.

an e-4 who has been in captivity 5 years is of Zero intelligence risk

FWIW when he was "captured" he was an E-3. He was promoted twice while missing and is now an E-5

The out-of-touch, no-real-world-experience top-level advisors are only a small sliver of the problem. It's their willingness to blithely lie that is so breathtaking: Susan Rice, who did such a bangup job with the Benghazi YouTube lie that they sent her out to spin more yarns about how Bergdahl served with "honor and distinction". Not a shred of honesty in her.

If you were right, I'd be the first to agree with you. Unfortunately...

You seem minimally informed, so you're also probably not aware that the preznit & his advisors ran this very same prisoner exchange past Congressional leaders back in 2011. They were almost unanimously against it. Which is why thy had to sneak it past Congress this time. T r a n s p a r e n c y . . .

1st: What is a preznit? Is this a non-humorous attempt at slang?

2nd: I don't care if you do not agree with me or if you think it is comical. You are more bothered that I do not agree with you and I am unwilling to be forced to agree with you than I about you not agreeing with me. Our people we should deal with them accordingly.

3rd: Wasn't it you that asked why wait 5 years to free the dude? Now you are telling me he didn't actually wait 5 years and he tried back in 2011. You are contradicting yourself all over the place. Please slow down, it is frightening.

“Civil discourse seems quite the challenge for you. You seem to agree with much of the piece, which is presumably why you posted it. Since I assume you also read the entire piece, I didn't think it too much to ask why after five years of captivity, the preznit found it suddenly so pressing to free this bum.

But no. Now you distance yourself from the article. Oh well... ”

Wow! They went hiking and camping in the Terrorist Outbacks of Afghan. Gee, do you think they were asking for it or what.

I haven't the slightest idea what they are going to do with this one. Aiyoooo!!!

Thanks for the clarification. I am pretty sure there are not a whole lot of E-3 with high value intel, after a month or so

I think we are way past the point of these are just allegations. The Army's own Investigation concluded he walked off his post.

With two high level lies after very public screw ups, she should resign

Why? She's a useful idiot, and the mainstream press doesn't care about her brazenly lying.

I watched the mainstream news last night, the watered down version of this story, even compared to CNN was appalling. The ranking Democratic member of the Senate Intelligence committee called out the President on National TV.. Crickets
