Feds: Obama Broke Law with Bergdahl Swap

[Angry Irishman]

Nice to see that Republicans support leaving soldiers behind. Makes me wonder why they cry so those huge crocodile tears over Benghazi....

Have you ever served? No, I didn't think so.

Here's the guys Obama released for Bergdahl the Defector without notifying Congress:

1) Ibrahim Bin Shakaran

The rest are listed here:

You'll notice they only have 4 on this page.

It's think it's funny how they omitted the 1st guy
..actually it's pretty sad.

Good grief!

The 1st guy wasn't one of those traded and the 2nd article that you claim only lists 4 actually lists all 5.

I'm starting to think that you're actually some kind of 'liberal' who is here trying to make 'conservatives' look bad.

So what you are saying is that the motto, "never leave a man behind", is either bullshit or full of caveats? Interesting. I guess that goes hand in hand with "guilty until proven innocent".


I don't know what's more disgusting, people who have condemned bergdahl before he's had his day in court or American military men ignoring the very principals for which they supposedly fight for.

oops

Hey..They let that guy go too;What did he do?
hmm?
hmm?
Go start a goat farm?
Is that what he did after being released from Guantanamo Bay?
I never claimed to be a "liberal" or "conservative".

Wasn't asking you....I know your story.

Explain to me why the fuck the army recruited a person who received a psychological discharge from the coast guard? In what world does that make any sense? They recruited a guy with known and documented mental issues and expected smooth sailing? Now they are prosecuting him after he alread spent 5 years of torture and hell as the captive as islamists?!?! If I were in charge I would be going after the recruiters who let him in, they are more at fault than anybody. If you are looking for a scapegoat, there it is...

this is the state of an all-volunteer army, stretched thin fighting two useless wars for more than a decade.

well, he did choose as his username a word that directly translates to: "Building-sized dick" or even "a dick the size of a city block." And it's never used as a compliment....so there's that.
