Very powerful response to the Bergdahl nonsense by a retired US Navy Chief Warrant Officer

[Moonwalk]

67. K&R! This is a MUST READ. Brilliant! I was particularly awed by this part....

....

"If our people aren’t worth four or five terrorists sitting in a Gitmo prison cell, then you tell me why we’ve spent the last twelve years in two wars, why we traded the lives of six thousand servicemen and why we killed hundreds of thousands Iraqis and Afghans to avenge three thousand Americans. Go on, tell me why it was okay for the previous administration take a hundred enemy lives for every one of ours, but it’s not acceptable for the current administration to trade five terrorists for the life of one American soldier – especially when we gave six American lives as a down payment looking for him after his disappearance. Why were the Americans who died on 911 any more valuable than Bowe Bergdahl?

And if Bergdahl is guilty of desertion, then don’t we owe it to those six dead soldiers to bring him home and make him account for his cowardice?"

Whoah! This fellow is amazing and I'm going to keep an eye on him. In fact, I hope some site picks him up and makes them their chief political critic. He is sharp and unflinching.

Thank you for posting this.
