5 Top terrorist traded for 1 US soldier

[lovbyts]

Is this something we want to discuss?
I'm not sure even myself. None of my feelings are mixed on this, I'm just pissed off.
Yes I know there "could" be an ulterior motive but due to past experiences I have very little to no hope that it is true. I think it was just another outrageous move by the current administration to undermine everything the US once stood for.

OK I need to go take my blood pressure medication before I go any further and would be interested in hearing others opinions.

I know the circumstances surrounding his capture are in controversy but he deserves the right to go home. That is the silver lining. All the politics are just bull dust

[Megalodon6]

No way

[lovbyts]

Why should he go home if he deserted? Everyone in his unit say he deserted and I actually work with someone who was part of it and know the details 1st hand.

Even though the fact is we have never negotiated with the enemy and it is a law here. Leave no soldier behind does not mean to give in to their demands.

The detail coming out about him are getting worse and worse by the hour. Many of his comrads have been interviewed and every one says he deserted. His letters to his parents make it clear. He mailed all his belongings back home 2 days prior to him walking away.

The only good thing about this is how fast it's blowing up in Obama's face and it may be big enough to finally be able to do something about.

Another bad decision by our crappy administration.

I keep saying how bad can it get but it seems to keep getting worse. Like I said though there might be a silver lining.

[Lunk1]

5 high ranking officials for 1 little bitch that by law should be put to death anyhow....seems about right!

[RaginCajun]

as a country, we look terrible!

[Rusty11]

This whole thing just stinks. Many within the intelligence community harbor serious concerns not only that Bergdahl may have been a deserter but also an active collaborator with the enemy. If true, obama released 5 terrorists and one in training. His fellow soldiers call him a traitor and deserter.

[lovbyts]

2 of the 5 released are also directly responsible for over 6000 murders of men, fathers and sons in front of their wives and daughters. The UN also wanted these guys. They were supposed to be never released.

[David LoPan]

IMO it should have been for a one to one deal at most. Not the top 5 guys unless there are plans to kill them in the next few days. I know the intelligence people think that it could lead to other networks but I call BS. Just a bad choice and it was illegal. They should put charges on the POW guy and lock him up for a long time. The guys in your unit know most everything about you and they say he left and got other service members killed. I am not sure the media can spin this in a positive way

[diesel101]

It showed how weak and pathetic our administration really is at handling things.

[Rwy]

Wow I didnt hear about this. Is it possible he knows things?

[Mp859]

Releasing 5 and possibly 6 people who want to see nothing but harm done to America seems perfectly rational to me.

Would you expect anything less from the current administration?

[Mp859]

Maybe should've talked to the fellow soldiers ahead of time instead of after the fact

[Black]

Hypocrites run this country. Always have, always will. And YOU the people that vote them in are enablers to their cause.

Its sort of comical to sit back and watch people complain about the ridiculousness of this government and then somehow forget everything and vote another carbon copy in every four years.

Government and religion are one in the same. Control based on fear and false hope. Its really sad that this is the world we are forced to live in.

[Mp859]

What happened to "We don't negotiate with terrorists!"?

Amen

[Mp859]

At least Bush ;regardless of what he did in office, wasn't a Muslim sympathizer.

[DOSA]

No way bush makes this move, no way.

[Trevtrev]

Another example of an administration that says that they believe in rule of law, but then act the opposite. Our wonderful president even signed into law the very one he broke by not giving notice. Makes me sick. And no, I didn't vote him in. Sheeple did.

Hmmm i haven't herd about these desertion allegations.

I bet you know all to well about coward soldiers don't you being one yourself. Watching a women get raped is really low life of you. No wonder your family disowned you. The words head and knob come to mind. Lol

Are you serious? And you really represent this sites staff? The words "no satisfaction in life so i must abuse people online because I'm a pale sadist" comes to mind.

Leave me alone.

[evander87]

I have mixed feelings about "we don't negotiate with terrorists" thing. We've always done POW swaps BUUUUT this guy is a POS and should have been left to rot over there. If you don't think so look up his dad and see what he was tweeting. Also this will boil some blood. I heard on the Today show this morning that he might be brought up on charges for desertion. So we traded 5 leaders just so we can get one POS back just to have an effing trial?!?!,

Eat meticulous, train ridiculous for best results.

Thank you x

[Rusty11]

Dad is a real patriot, as well. He tweeted:" I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child. Ameen!"

What about the thousands of dead Americans, you POS!

[Rusty11]

[dk94]

They can find and rescue jessica lynch in no time, find terrorist leaders hiding in countries in which the usa is supposedly not operating, Supposedly find binladen etc.. It seems they should have been able to locate this man and extract him without a trade off. But i know nothing of military intelligence and this is purely anecdotal. Seems suspicious, especially with the alignment of his father and him subsequently being invited to the whitehouse.

The problem is not only they want to harm Americans but they have already killed over 6000 Afghan men and boys who did not want to be part of the Taliban. Do you think they are going to just retire. They are going to go full force trying to get more recruits and kill more who they feel betrayed them or sided with Americans, especially now that we are pulling out 100% and the citizens will have no protection.

It's sad we went in with the promise to help the people and now we are going to leave them defenseless along with sending the worst of the worst back to them free and with more hate in their hearts (if they have one) than before.

Did you know one of the top guys we sent back his father was killed not long ago by a drone strike? I'm sure he isnt any to happy about that. Cant think of a better reason to plot revenge.

I bet they have been properly rehabbed into upstanding citizens and are going to change their ways and be a model human being. After all, that's why we put murders/criminals in jails right?

[diesel101]

I personally think the trade would have been a good one if they would have planted time delayed high explosives up their ass set to go off about an hour after the exchange.

The only good thing (and I highly doubt it) is if they have chipped with gps thats undetectable and impossible to mask or turn off and they use it to drone strike them within the next few months.

Ive seen nothing the last 6 years that gives me any faith about that the case though.

The government is to liberal and ignorant to pull off something like that.

[songdog]

I believe our country messed up.Obama again.We should've left him there.He left his fellow soldiers to go over to them.Let him stay there.And send his #1 supporter his father with him.But seeing he is here now.Levenworth will do.

[lovbyts]

Agreed. They have no problem chipping and tracking us, US citizens but God/Allah forbid if they did it to them it would be a violation of their rights.

What's even worse is people still believe the current government is better than the previous one. You ask them how and they don't have an answer. They would vote Obama in again and again if possible without even knowing why. Hopefully one day we can have a government that is even just DECENT. Decent would do for me.

There were problems with the last one, they are all corrupt in one way or another and have their agendas but at least Bush's agenda was not to destroy the US as we know it.

I'm still hoping for a meteor shower that causes world wide natural disaster so we can start over.

....First off the soldier did not desert his command. He was off duty at the time and just wanted to go for a walk thinking he saw a UFO off in the distance he decided to go investigate. And before he knew what was happening to him the aliens abducted him and did an anal probe. but found him to be full of shiat so they brought him back to earth and before he could regain his bearings and pull the probe out of his azz the taliwhackers were upon him and captured him. He has been used for their sexual pleasure ever since but they tired of him over the years, ok his ahole became too loose for them to enjoy. That and because he started spitting instead of swallowing. So they then decided to trade him out for their 5 great soldiers of war being held at Gitmo. The End..

[lovbyts]

That makes a lot more sense that the story the current administration is trying to spin.
