It seems to me by the above posts that a few soldiers lost their lives because of this guy's willful actions. Now add to that this "prisoner swap" for militants who will surely go back to Afghanistan

Here's a golden oldie: Obama in 2008, saying "I have never supported engagement with terrorists".

How to trust someone who constantly lies?

If you like your plan you can keep it

You can keep your doctor

I will reduce the Debt

More transparency

Lie after lie after lie

It's all Bush's fault

Sure they could protest if they want to. People protest everything he does anyway.

Soldiers who protest lawful orders are not soldiers long. The Military does not work like that.

I say good for him and his family, happy for them, really...but bad for the future. The one thing that prevented many more kidnaps of Americans was that everyone knew the US does not negotiate, so there is no point to it. Now that that has changed, they will have more incentive to kidnap more people and expect the price to rise each time. It used to be the same with Israel - the first agreement decades ago was only a few for one. The last one was over 1,000 for one. And inbetween it kept rising and rising. And while in Israel they are actually moving in the direction now of putting it into law that certain inmates can never be released even if the politicians think it is a good idea - it's horrible to see the US move from what was actually a good policy that was revered in other places around the world towards one where blackmail is going to be rewarded.

Israel engages in prisoner exchanges all the time, and this was not a kidnapping victim but a battlefield captured soldier. Very different things and not just a semantic distinction.
