Yeah, kind of how expensive it was to bring Bergdahl home.

Bergdahl was active duty military. And they have a do not rest until every last solider/ POW comes home, dead or alive, motto. They are still looking for Vietnam era soldiers-- dead or alive. In Bergdahl's case, I don't think it was worth it. But, that's not really my place to say, since I have never served. I defer to the military on Bergdahl, because getting him home, even if he was a traitor, is part of their code.

Most people recognize that there is a difference between disappearing while being active duty military and disappearing while being a stupid tourist. Now, Bergdahl was being stupid and traitorous active duty military. But the military still wanted him. And he was considered active duty military when he came back.   [/quote]

You're missing the point.  Both did something stupid and our government made the effort to bring them both home.  You all can spin the facts all you want but it's interesting that with Bergdahl "its not really your place to say" if it's worth it, but with Otto, you can't keep your mouth shut about how our government shouldn't bring home an American.
