Why the HELL did the U.S. just give up five terrorists? Youre kidding, right?

Because obama wanted to reward the kid for setting an example to our military because he deserted his post in wartime.

They used to shoot people for that, no?

^^^ this.


It's pretty clear the guy was a deserter and HATED AMERICA just like Obama.


"Bergdahl: 'I am ashamed to be an American'..."

Bowe Bergdahl would detail his disillusionment with the Afghanistan campaign in an email to his parents three days before he went missing.
“I am sorry for everything here,” he wrote.
“These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid.”

Bergdahl also complained about fellow soldiers. The battalion commander was a “conceited old fool,” he said, and the only “decent” sergeants,
planning to leave the platoon “as soon as they can,” told the privates — Bergdahl then among them — “to do the same.”

“I am ashamed to be an American. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools,” he concluded. “I am sorry for everything.
The horror that is America is disgusting.”

Oh, thanks for the annoymous red karma. Thanks. I must be striking a cord. Using something called "logic", common sense and THE TRUTH. Nazi.

ac

im trying to slow you down a minute

are you ok?

Not only did he desert his post, apparently 5 other soldiers were killed looking for him during the active search. Wonder how THEIR families feel?

5 terrorists for one? what the fuck is going ON..?

any idiot can see this is a travesty...how bout 1 for 1..
but five for one? wow

It's not just that 1 U.S. soldier is worth 5 terrorists.(anti American extremist whatever you assholes.)

It's that they can just infiltrate our armies, go "a wall" and still be worth a trade of 5 more terrorists.

At some point we should really take a good hard look at our leadership.

Maybe if we had some type of Impeaching process here in the states?

It knocked the VA scandle and Benghazi off the headlines.

WTH are u talking about? O doesn't kill his own! If Bergdahl was a true American, O wouldn't have wasted his energy getting him freed. His father looks like the "captors" speaks fluently, their language. Nobody does that, if they aren't a sympathizer. The entire family are possble traitors and need investigated.

And then; you have New Yorker's (only for a political assault on the other party) claiming "oh, don't bring those horrible men to New York for trial or incarceration". Hell, we are talking of flesh and blood here. They are not "super" men. Bring them all over to the states; and let's hear the testimony. Adhere to the Constitution. (You know we have 9 other amendments other than just the 2nd one !)

Yes. That's the whole point and the answer to "why here and why now?"

Oh look - - a squirrel!!

Mostly probably the huge VA scandal which stirs up passion.

They are still doing damage control, Maybe they succeed, Maybe not.

Benghazi is a ticking time bomb.

Nothing they can do but prolong it as long as possible.

Kerry's set to testify before the select committee on Jun. 12.

Because unlawful enemy combatants violate the laws of war by employing deception to hide or confuse their identities and affiliations, the CSRT hearings were designed not just to meet but to exceed the due process protections provided by hearings conducted pursuant to Army Regulation 190-8. Specifically, Guantanamo Bay detainees are given the following rights as part of their CSRT hearings:

A military officer is appointed to serve as the detainee's personal representative and explains the CSRT process to the detainee, assists in the collection of relevant information, and helps prepare for the hearing.

In advance of the hearing, the detainee is given a summary of the evidence supporting his designation as an enemy combatant.

A member of the tribunal is required to search government files for any evidence suggesting the detainee is not an enemy combatant.

The decision of every CSRT hearing is automatically reviewed by a higher authority in the Department of Defense who is empowered to order further proceedings.[16]

There would be little or no doubt whether detainees are members of the Taliban or al-Qaeda if such forces simply followed the Geneva Conventions and wore uniforms, displayed insignias, and carried their arms openly. The resulting irony is that unlawful enemy combatants detained at Guantanamo Bay have been given heightened due process despite, and as a direct result of, their repudiation of the laws of war.

If Obama had kept his promise to get the troops out of Afghanistan, there wouldn't be captured troops in the first place.

Bin Laden is dead. Why the hell does the U.S. need to keep 10,000 troops there?
