Apparently the Iraqi PM has requested US air support and was denied it by the Obama Admin. I would guess Obama will either ignore the collapse of Iraq or try to blame it on the Iraqi government (not there is not some blame there). The major part of the blame lies in us leaving before Iraq was truly stabilized.
I think Obama thought the trade would enahance his approval. It probably never occurred to him that Bergdahl was not worth 5 major terrorists and that people would be upset about it. He is probably scratching his head wondering why we don't get it. I mean come on, 5 terrorists for a deserter, thats a good trade right? Just one more example of how clueless, out of touch, and idiotic the President and those he surrounds himself with are.
How about a lowlife Commander in Chief who would tout him around as a hero?
Still not as bad. I generally expect politicians to look after their own interests and agenda first. I fully expect my brothers in arms to have the same commitment to me that I have to them.
I guess as a retired soldier and combat vet I take especial offense to the notion that there is anything heroic about this clown. He is worthless and a waste of oxygen in my opinion. I can think of no creature so contemptible as the supposed man who would abandon his comrades on the field of battle.
I find it amusing that street view is only available in select cities in Germany when I know the street view cars have been all over the country. I passed the street view car near my house in 2009 but my town is not on street view.
The difference between AWOL and deserter is that one happens on the field of battle and the other does not. He deserted his post and the penalty for that is death. I know a guy who was in a different company in his BN who corroborates most of the stories floating around on the net. He should be court-martialed, sentenced to die, and executed. Point blank, it is that simple. Obama should probably be impeached and convicted for releasing terrorists in exchange for him. Too bad Obama cannot be prosecuted for violating decades old US policy that we do not negotiate with terrorists, period.
I watched it in high school when I was busily devouring everything by STephen King I could get my hands on. On VHS no less, probably from Blockbuster 8)
