We did nothing wrong by exchanging people for him.

In your mind maybe.

We didn't have to do anything to get him back.
Walking away on his part negated that.

Gitmo detainees traded for Bergdahl have tried to resume terror activities

Officials: Detainee swapped for Bergdahl suspected of militant activities

"The U.S. military and intelligence community now suspect that one of the five Taliban detainees released from Guantanamo Bay in return for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in May of last year has attempted to return to militant activity from his current location in Qatar by making contact with suspected Taliban associates in Afghanistan, multiple officials tell CNN."

Not an issue. Army has him and he will be tried. I can see the liar OReilly if he was not returned."How can O not get our serviceman away from those terrorists".

OReilly should be fired.

Not the bringing him home, but the trading for five terrorists and parading of his parents in the rose garden as if this was some kind of war hero. Come on...

We'll kill the terrorists. That's the other thing we do in the Army.

As for the Rose Garden ceremony for mom and dad. I'll agree that was premature and politically stupid.

It's not just that it was "politically stupid" ..... they actually thought it was "politically BRILLIANT", which is why they had the big Rose Garden Ceremony,

These are exactly the same Politically BRILLIANT people who are "negotiating" with the Death to America crowd. They believe ALL of this will cement the Great Legacy of Obama.

If we left him behind the same people would be complaining that we should have brought him back, who exactly gets to make the decision to leave him there. Leaving a soldier behind based on opinion?
