I guess the fact that nothing was said about this for 5 years and supposedly the entire unit was told to be quiet about what happened but now they choose(or maybe we're told) to come forward and tell their story just makes me suspicious. I will wait for all the facts before I pass judgement.

Never said you shouldn't. Hope you and AK report back to us with your findings.

Isn't this just rules during the war? From everything I'm reading, including many military leaders, they do not leave any man or woman behind and we have traded POW's after every war.

They didn't try to leave him behind. A new agenda was set to find him. 6 men died during that new agenda. He left base unarmed. Any other soldier would've went down guns a blazing.

Our President is a fucking idiot. If you voted for him or are trying to defend him, then you're just as bad for this Country too. If I lose friends over this then so be it. Probably just got added to some Gov't hit list for it too. Oh well...

Well I guess President Bush was a fucking idiot also...

John B. Bellinger III, who was the top lawyer at the State Department under President George W. Bush, said Sergeant Bergdahl “will have to face justice, military justice.”


“We don’t leave soldiers on the battlefield under any circumstance unless they have actually joined the enemy army,” Mr. Bellinger told Fox News on Tuesday. “He was a young 20-year-old. Young 20-year-olds make stupid decisions. I don’t think we’ll say if you make a stupid decision we’ll leave you in the hands of the Taliban.”

Never commented on him, but glad to know you see it that way! :)

Nice try, but I guess both Repubs and Dems that aren't loons agree that we don't leave people in Taliban hands just because they are accused of making a mistake. The way you guys treat this issue without even knowing the facts is dangerous. I guess that's why we have adults making adult decisions.

I'm not a Dem or a repub, nor do I support any political party.

And what can I say, we are all forced to hang out with children now that you've brought your political agenda to the offshore.

I wouldn't leave a man or woman behind, but I have no problem leaving a fucking coward, especially one that left on his own freewill and new he was on his own when doing so!

Lol, I didn't say anything about politics in this thread until you said this...

It's funny how people can say this stuff but if people respond to these comments with their political beliefs it becomes wrong.

Call me wrong. Banned me. I don't give a fuck. We traded 5 known terrorists who murdered innocent people for a fucking coward. Only time will tell when kidnappings and ransoms begin to occur around the World. here we go...

All that stuff has been going on for years....it is more likely these 5 will be on the other end of a drone than they pull of some ransom.

Well he admitted guilt when he confirmed it was his voice on the recording. And the NBA has their own rules that they agreed to and he chose to bow out instead of face his peers. Not sure how this is similar to getting a POW being held by the Taliban.

Your talking about after, I am talking about before. He was hung and considered guilty before he even knew that taped was release. The process is the same no matter the case. Innocent until proven guilty right?

I am agreeing with your quote

It's very sad. The guy has not even been proven guilty of anything. The way they talk about him and this trade is sick. Just absolutely demented individuals.

by why do you pick and choose when that process is acceptable? just like with Sterling, lots of signs pointing to this guy being exactly what he is being accused of, you condemned Sterling but want to pull the innocent until proven guilty card here?

Which is worse, Sterling not wanting his paid gf to not be around black people or this "war hero" going AWOL, his fellow soldiers losing their lives attempting to rescue him while he was joining up with the Taliban?

I think BAS is impeding vitterds 1st amendment rights by dumping this thread here.

The RR would have been more appropriate.

Says the common denominator in all the drama.

So it wasn't the guy that said... Our President is a fucking idiot. If you voted for him or are trying to defend him, then you're just as bad for this Country too.

It's funny how just because the majority of the people on this site have a similar way of thinking, that it's free game for them to say whatever they want but if someone has a different view they are causing problems, lol. Love it.

How is that relevant to what I said? Of course his comment was a driver. My point was you are a pot stirrer and other guys take your bait and say crazy shit.
