OK, if new reports jumped the gun then fine.

My opinion still holds.

Left and Right picked sides on this over politics, not thought. shocking eh?

Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't see myself as "picking a side" when I say that desertion/treason are crimes that need a trial on the evidence to prove. Also, that there are very good strategic reasons to get american soldiers held by the enemy to be returned, regardless of how they came to be in enemy hands.

In my understanding of military law and practice, these are longstanding principles that predate bergdahl, and I support them.

Please tell me why you think those are not good principles.

Hence the problem with blind partisan attacks and defenses.

Now....let's see who comes back to this thread.
My position on this hasn't changed.

Let's wait to hear what the Army's investigation has revealed before gathering the lynch mob.

If they press charges, let's allow the UCMJ to cycle and come to a verdict. It's in the hands of the military and they hold the cards. Their system has shown that it works pretty well.

Right wingers blindly foaming at the mouth should take a deep breath, relax, and let this run its course.

What the hell, Wingers??? I thought (according to Fox News), Bergdahl was a DESERTER, a TRAITOR, probably an Al Qaida TERRORIST!!!!

Gee, you don't think, in their zeal to deny Obama a PR win... they lied and slandered a captive American soldier, do you?

Nah... The Right wouldn't sink THAT low... would it?



boy some folks just can not grasp how sadistic Obama is
one day, when it hits their door, maybe reality will come in
but I seriously doubt it
anyone with an ant's brain would see what Obama is doing
do you really think he wants it known that this POS RAN AWAY????
6 soldiers DIED trying to find him
Obama released the " dream team" 5 from Gitmo
and is STILL releasing them!!!
so ya think he might get a little pissed if the truth comes out
and come out it has
hell we have all known it, but Obama can not accept that we are not his minions
lap dogs, fans, or his people
one day this son of a ***** will be held into account
and I will get to see it
he is not only the worse president
he is vile, corrupt, a liar, and bet his dick is little LOL
he sure as hell has no balls

That was a good little screed.

I'd give it a 6 on a 10 point scale.

News media getting ahead of the story once again in an endless race for the scoop, what's the rush this has been going on since the summer couldn't they wait for a formal announcement. Military justice will take it's course, who really cares about the rest of this nonsense.
