Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl Freed, 5 Years a Taliban Prisoner

[jhood001]

I'm sick and tired of the 'the taliban is emboldened to capture more troops' bullshit this story is spinning. It has no play, people. Let it rest.

This fucker was an immeasurable fraction of a percent of our armed forces. He GAVE himself up. He didn't stop fighting. He wasn't fighting in the first place.

The vast majority will be more than willing to fight to the death should it come to that.

The remainder will surrender when faced with overwhelming odds.

No different than it has ever been.

Our enemies can be more inclined to capture now. Great. So be it. They will compromise themselves in the fight and our men in uniform will kill more of them in the process.

Stop parroting a bullshit talking point.

... and just where do you get the idea it has no play? It's not that they're emboldened, they've been emboldened by our C-in-C's spineless "negotiation" -- what's really bad is that they've been incentivized to grab more Americans. I suppose the good thing is that they have an incentive to hold onto captives rather than just kill and behead them as they wanted to do to Luttrell but your statements about a "bullshit talking point" smell themselves of bovine excrement.

This whole thing smells to high heaven.

It gets better: Bergdahl's father is allegedly a perv, started learning Arabic and Pashtun more than 2 years before his release...

Eh, he may have started learning them in order to plead for his son's release. I would rather judge Bergdahl based on the evidence collected at the time of his "capture" and leave his father's perversions to the civil courts. More importantly, I'd rather judge Obama's misjudgement in carrying out this stupid trade on the danger it creates to Americans worldwide rather whether or not Bergdahl is s stinking traitor who should swing at the end of a noose.

I completely disagree. It has shown that we WILL negotiate with terrorists and it is lucrative to snatch Americans. Maybe not necessarily "soldiers" but Americans in general. As a contractor that often frequents these parts of the world it has my close attention that's for sure.
