Release of American POW

Painting modern day Christians as Crusade-era Christians is a pretty big stretch....

There are certainly exteremists on both sides, but Christianity seems to have a much better hold on theirs than the Muslims....

Well we have laws preventing murder now yes. But the same book that allowed for the Crusades to be right is the same book that they interpret today. I think what we are talking about is how civilized the people that follow their chosen religion are.

I know many Muslims that are better Americans than Christian ones. And nothing they believe in their religion allows them to think killing is right. So we have come sort of full circle as to what has started this whole sidebar convo on religion. It was proposed that we have lost religion as a core value of our military. I think we have just become more civilized in how we accept all religions into the military now. We didn't have a Muslim in our military ranks in earlier times. Now we do. Our military, like our population, has become more diverse in the people that are in it.

And getting back on topic to the original post. I have so far seen noone support his release, except the President and of course his close supporters, as well as the parents of the released soldier. They are about to have Congressional hearings over it.

Meanwhile back in Iraq, Al-Qaida have taken back over the city of Mosul in a short battle that resulted in the "trained" Iraqi soldiers, turned tail and ran. So it won't take long that either we return or it goes back to we may as well never have gone there to "liberate" it.
 
Wow this thread got crazy.

Innocent until proven guilty. I know one thing, due to all this exact rhetoric this guy is screwed when he comes home. People calling in death threats and crap on him. Thats the biggest shame of all imho. So damned partisan, it makes me sad.

Also Free thinkers don't start religious wars.. :p

Well if you think this thread is crazy?....I just read where Mr. Bowe Bergdahl was section 8 (psych discharge) out of the U.S. Coast Guard in 2006 yet he somehow slipped into our U.S. Army afterwards?

Uncle Sam must be smoking what he wants to legalize. :(

tell that to the families of the soldiers who lost their lives trying to find this now converted Jihadist as he went a played soccer with Taliban and practiced shooting his AK-47...:whistle: or let me guess it was stockholm syndrome right?

in a court of law sure he's innocent till proven guilty but NOT in the court of public opinion which can often exercise more common sense then a court of law can.

and lets be clear he converted over almost immediately after JOINING the other side NOT after being captured.

but I'm sure our inexperienced and unqualified POTUS will pardon him anyway.... but that won't bring back the dead soldiers that went looking for this deserter will it?
 
As a retired soldier, I expect an Article 32 investigation - and if warranted, a follow on courts-martial.

However, what I expect is that he will be Pardoned, or no ART 32 via political pressure...the President wants AFG to "go away" and cleaning out gitmo and getting any Pow's (voluntary or not) back has to happen first...

Sad thing is, the failure in Vietnam is about to happen all over again in Iraq....and probably AFG too...and the libs will say "see, we shouldn't have done it in the first place", forgetting it's their administration who let it fall....

slick willy thought "I will just remove everyone from Iraq so I can get re-elected" great plan obama! this moron and his staff are just so incredibly clueless when it comes to foreign affairs.

I think its funny now how Mccain is saying.... "I told you this was gonna happen" well, chit it didn't take a rocket scientist to think that the second we left Iraq the insurgents would simply take over the country which is exacty wat they are doin right now and causing instability in the region. but even worse its been building for the last year and NOW suddenly ur gonna address it. we hav to go in now. we hav no other choice. ur about to see a civil war take place again there!

obama is such a smuck. he will truly go down in history as the worst president of all time. even worse then jimmy carter which is really pathetic!

I'm sure when the brainwashed american public get a chance they will elect clinton and we will see the same chit we see now which is incompetence. america haven't you see enough of the clintons and bush's? smh
 
It needs to be Ted Cruz....I can hear him now "If you Fug with us, we'll kill you all, this is all".....

Isn't most of his staff Clintons? I heard that somewhere but haven;t ever checked.

yea there are quite a few members of his staff that were on clintons staff as well.

I really wish our government cud get a fresh start without haven the name Bush or Clinton attached to it.
 
Looks like they may bring this POS to justice after all.
yea seen that. I'm sure Obama and his appointees tried everything in their power to NOT prosecute this POS so his office doesn't look even more incompetent than it already is (if thats even possible!) but in the end he is exactly wat he was described by as the soldiers that worked with him and that is a COWARD terroist sympathizer who deserted and seeked out taliban members almost immediately.

and this incompetent president of ours lets 6 known terrorists go as a result? hard to believe they didn't have at least some or all of this information before making a deal like that. wat did we get out of it? we traded 1 US terrorist for 6 other taliban terrorists who are now plotting how to kill even more Americans? makes me sick!

he decided to go play for the other team while his buddies went out looking for him thinking maybe he was captured and as a result many lost their lives! fukn scumbag is wat he is and he will be a leavinworth the rest of his POS life and his POS terrorist sympathizer mother and father can come visit him there.... smh
