Obama did his duty! The American Government would have acted dishonorable had they left Bergdahl behind. Being left behind is not a punishment under the UCMJ. I wonder how many American solders the Viet Cong that were exchanged for John McCain killed? A dishonorable SOB who didn't deserve the CMH that he was awarded. He got it because his name was McCain. The CMH should have gone the ones who died in "The Hanoi Hilton." There is something deficient about a McCain that didn't make Admiral, even in retirement.

At least Obama didn't sell weapons as part of the exchange! Besides which the prisoners released were, as members of the Taliban Government, state actors not terrorists.
