Army Charges Bergdahl as a Deserter

[Vigilante]

As John Kerry said " I misspoke!"....But should have known the ass of a president would let a guy being investigated for desertion, and being a traitor, to walk around free as a bird!

your ignorance is showing again - it would not be the president who made that call.

Oh....In White House terms, not charging Bergdahl means that he was indeed worth the trade for the Taliban Five. But charging him on any level means that releasing the five Taliban was an error of monstrous proportions, one the administration will never be able to explain away satisfactorily.

Is nervous Obama White House holding Bergdahl report hostage Fox News

Hooray, idle speculation and opinion

Ain't it great!

Useless would be my description of it

That's your posts! ...Useless!

The fuckup was signing up someone like Bergdahl to start with. Someone who washed out of Boot Camp for the Coast Guard.

and then the army kept promoting him in his absense.

Of course, of course. How stupid of me to even think that Obama made a bed call here.

Considering that we had no reason to really hold these five Taliban guys (they hadn't committed any crimes against Americans) and they were of no value, it was actually a good trade.

I should also point out that the right wing had been screaming FOR YEARS to do something to secure Bergdahl's release.

Until the Black Guy Did It.

Oh that race card, overused to the point of total ineffectiveness!

I doubt anyone clamoring to get that turd back knew the current facts. At that time is was just a missing man, and not a known deserter. He left of his own accord, and no resources should have been wasted to "rescue" him. Obama thought he was making a move, which would shine a positive light on himself. He was a bit mistaken.

OK, boys and girls. Get back to the subject of the OP. The back and forth is cute but not allowed. Thank you!

oh great, now jake can claim he answered my post, when i clearly showed he didn't. didn't mean to violate any rules, heck didn't even know i was violating a rule by simply posting the post that jake failed to respond to.

will try and remember this in the future. could you also point me to the rule that says it is not allowed. thanks.

Obama did the right thing by bringing this man home, by leaving no man behind. Bergdahl was not a 'charged' deserter, he had not had a chance to be charged or defend himself from a charge.... the only place to do that, was here in the USA.

I would expect Bergdalhl to be brought home and not left behind.
That's the "American" thing to do.

Okay great! Can we give him back now?

Do you trade 5 Taliban HIGH PROFILE terrorists for one man that his unit says left his post deliberately?

YES.

One American is worth a gazillion billion million of Taliban....

and hearsay from the guys on a post IS NOT something to go on to make your decision to leave an American soldier behind.

We have hearings and trials and charges, where both sides can be represented, that have to be gone through...hearsay from a few guys that never liked Bergdahl is MOST DEFINITELY not good enough of a reason to leave an American soldier behind....period!!!!!

Why wasn't Sgt. Tahmooress, held by a FRIENDLY government NOT persued the way Bergdahl was?

 

[Care4all]

Whether Obama's move was "liked" or "not liked" doesn't really matter....what matters is that Obama did the RIGHT THING by bringing this American home....he was not charged with desertion at the time.... shoot, he was being given pay raises and promotions while he was a hostage.

best case scenario

obama is an idiot

The circumstances were completely different. We FORCED via orders, Bergdahl to go overseas and serve in war.... no one from our government forced or gave orders for Tahmooress to go to Mexico where we are not at war, with his guns.

Either way, Tahmooress was being helped by our government. It took months, which felt like forever....but with Bergdahl it took years and years to get him released.

But you said NO SOLDIER left behind, a double standard for our men, and from what I have read from Tomooress's mother, the government did NOTHING, she had to hire a Mexican lawyer!

Do we know that as a FACT yet? And what about all of the other things right wingers claimed about him, was he charged with being a traitor too, or charged with aiding and abetting the enemy as well...not hearing anything on those things?

AND if he is being charged with being a deserter, the only way to do that, was to have him brought home and given the fair chance to defend himself of the charges.... no way to do this, without him being brought home.

The President made the right decision....

I'm not going to change my mind on this...truly, I'm not.

Why is the president holding back the outcome of the investigation as reported by the non biased UK press?

Bowe Bergdahl deserter investigation is complete - but verdict will not be determined until after November s elections Daily Mail Online

'left behind' is the clue...was Tahmooress LEFT there by his squadron? The answer is NO.


the GVT worked on it behind the scenes, our gvt, not his lawyer, is who actually got him released
