[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who wanders straight into the enemy, unarmed, and unprepared, is mentally ill. He should be brought back and conservatives will regret attacking him so quickly.  [/quote]

That is not the only possibility.  There may be another reason he “wanders straight into the enemy” but I am not even going to state the reason because it would be called a “conspiracy theory.”  I also won’t call your excuse a way to rationalize bad behavior, either. [/quote]

Well, he didn't act like a deserter.  A deserter is interested in self-preservation.

He obviously didn't join them like some jihadi.

He didn't bring a weapon with him, so he wasn't going postal like that solider who shot up a village.

The only thing left is "death by cop".[/quote]

No. The other possibility is that he did intend to join them like some jihadi, but that the Taliban decided that he was much more useful to them as a POW. Considering what they got for Bergdahl, I would say that such a decision would have proved to have been spectacularly correct.[/quote]

The jihadi route makes ZERO sense.  If he intended to defect or to join them in order to fight he would have brought his weapon and his equipment.  More likely he was having an emotional crisis, likely suicidal.  Also, I doubt he could have been of much value to the Taliban or Haqqani due to how briefly he had been serving.  He wouldn't have known much.[/quote]
