I thought we didn't negotiate with terrorists?

What's your source on this?

I've read different reports in the last 3 years as to how he was captured. CNN originally reported he was drunk off base and captured while wandering around, citing the original Taliban report. The AP reported he'd gone missing after falling behind during a patrol (citing Wikileaked documents). DoD has apparently made no formal statement of exactly how he was captured (at least that I could locate).

He's been promoted twice during his captivity.

Yes, all of those things were reported. He left a note with his buds and took off.

Yep...when I went into the military I was told if I was ever captured that the attitude would be "sucks being you".

I was told the same thing basically when I became a cop.

I vowed I'd never be taken hostage.

Once again the Obama administration all about appeasement. That's why the international community was all gung ho about having him as a president. Bush never put up with their bullshit, that's why they didn't like him
