Faux News guest wants Taliban to kill captured American soldier: western values Dubya, Coward, Bliar wanted to protect
I couldn't believe my ears, but just minutes ago on "America's News
HQ," guest pundit Ralph Peters suggested something to the effect that
the Taliban should "save us the headache" and execute captured 23
year-old American soldier Bowe Bergdahl, because "it looks like"
Bergdahl deserted his unit. While prefacing his comments by stressing
that a military decision should not be made until all of the facts
surrounding Bergdahl's capture are determined, Peters then ignored his
own advice and encouraged the Taliban to kill this young man. Fox
News' Julie Banderas was visibly shocked at the words coming out of
Peters' mouth, but did not challenge any of his statements before
awkwardly ending the segment.
It will be interesting to see how the U.S. handles this if indeed it was determined that this guy "deserted."
If it's up to the Marines, they'll go get their guy when they figure out where he his. But, as much as it pains me to say it, it would not surprise me at all if the Government dragged its feet over a deserter. Hopefully i'm wrong.
This is not a Fox News issue. This is one man's opinion.
I cannot imagine anyone, "deserter" or not, being stupid enough to surrender to the Taliban. Last I checked "deserters" ran away from the combat zone, not into it.

AWOL means that you intend, after an absence (often drunken absence), to return to military control. Desertion means that you run away with no intent of ever returning. Desertion would be almost impossible in rebel Afghanistan - it's not like running away from Fort Dix New Jersey and catching a bus to NYC.

He probably needed to get away from his "Buddies". Need more facts, not convenient death.
You should wait until all of the facts are in before you render judgement.
It's spelled F-O-X, btw, and don't blame the network for one man's opinion and we won't judge all leftists as crazy, misguided college kids, just you in particular Capt. Kool-Aid.
