no one died looking for him


So, you are calling the soldiers on the ground liars? You'd rather believe Hagel--who has not said with any finality that none were killed? Just sort of waffled?

How is it that people are jumping straight to claims of desertion vs AWOL?


He sent his things home. He was looking for the Taliban.



Says who? Conservatives? if they talk they lie.

If he deserted, he should not receive military benefits. He owes an apology to those that died looking for him and their families,the US. Military, and the American People who may pay for his return. He should be grateful.
I hope he will be able to do something productive with his life after this, otherwise it is a waste.

See more lies by conservatives, no one died looking for him. All the people listed by conservatives died in operations not relate to Bergdahl search. Maybe people who lie about military personnel should be in jail - aid and comfort to the enemy.

Say something intelligent. Being a Liberal is not an excuse for being dumb. However, being lazy and dumb are reasons people use ad hominem attacks.

If you can't argue the facts of the case then stay home.

As a conservative, I only think clearly when I am off my meds.

If he deserted, he should not received benefits, he should be court martialed and suffer whatever penalties one suffers for desertion.

But first he has to be proven guilty. Until then all this is speculation and has no bearing on Obama's decision to swap for him.

There's a war. How much more dangerous can it get for a soldier?


Are you serious?

I wish I could be that sure. I am very concerned about those I know in Afghanistan--now, more than ever.

Until he is convicted of desertion or a similar crime, and/or is dishonorably discharged, his service is honorable.


I would say that until he gets an honorable discharge, that his service is in question. You cannot ignore facts.






And until we bring him home we can't know.

Therefore the decision was the right one.

Was he convicted of desertion already and I missed it? Until he is convicted of desertion or a similar crime, and/or is dishonorably discharged, his service is honorable.
