That's one way of closing Gitmo. This guy sounds like he was a deserter who got captured instead, though. Said lots of anti-American stuff before he went missing.
The question I have is. What took them 5 years? If Obama was willing to negotiate anyway?
I am happy to the extreme that our soldier is finally free, but what took so long?

Passing Obamacare, targeting conservatives through the IRS, giving guns to Mexican drug cartels, giving a contract to Solyndra, covering up Benghazi, listening in on private phone conversations, etc...
I also am amused WITH posters with the usernames such as "DoD Guy and DewDropInn" have never heard the concept "suffer in silence" "try to escape or die trying" "someday someone might kill you with your own weapon... they will have to beat you with it when they pull it from your cold dead lifeless fingers and it is EMPTY" before.

WASHINGTON - The case of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, held by the Taliban since 2009, has arisen again as the U.S. and other countries engage in diplomatic efforts to free him.
But if he is released, will America's only prisoner of the Afghan war be viewed as a hero or a deserter?
While tattered yellow ribbons still adorn utility poles in his native Hailey, Idaho, others are expressing conflicting thoughts about Bergdahl's plight as the war winds down, with President Barack Obama threatening to withdraw all U.S. troops by year's end unless the Afghan government signs a crucial security agreement.
They are convinced that on June 30, 2009, just a few months after he arrived in Afghanistan, Bergdahl willingly walked away from his unit, which was deployed in Paktika province in eastern Afghanistan, adjacent to the border with Pakistan. While they do want Bergdahl home, they think he should have to answer allegations that he deserted his unit.
I already knew that. Just wanted to see how much the rest of you know.
Release 5 CONFIRMED for 1 of____________
