The right preys on those with brains the size of a flea.
You'll hear this "6 men died" fetid crap that Rifleman Ron vomits out all the way to the next election, along with the Benghazi ignorant ranting...all designed by the $$ backers on the right.
Ron is just a good foot soldier.. He's on the way-out, extreme end of the right wing, but there are millions of poor, unfortunate souls like him.

doesn't prove he deserted.. its still speculation. we don't know his state of mind. If he was suffering from PTSD he could have left under a delusion. Thats also speculation of course. I have no idea which or what is true at this point. And neither do you. Speculation is all that we have at this point.

The trick for the Republican Noise Machine will be to tie this to Hillary.
The wheels are spinning, I'm sure. Stay tuned to Ron's posts to see if it works.
There will be an election in '16. Let's see who the genius's on the right nominate. Their last guy only ran the economy into the ground and started 2 wars..what could go wrong?
Foreign policy expert Palin? Cruz? Trump? Gimme a break.

And if he had been clearly captured during some firefight where he was later awarded the medal of honor for saving his troop would you still be implying "leave him behind" ?
War sometimes has lousy choices.

Again, you'd leave the American POW to die at the hands of the enemy.

When a nation declares a war against "terrorism" and essentially decides to wage war on a never-ending scale in a feeble attempt to kill an idea, well the standards are thrown to the wind.
Stupid wars, poor initial and early stage strategies, and engaged for political advantage at home following the Trade Center plane crashes; get all the kids home and be done with it.
Now get Congress to start funding the rehabilitation of the survivors of the decade of useless wars.

I knew this thread would gather steam!
Yes, it would be nice if we could discuss a topic without all the name calling.
The Chief is being restrained tonight. Let the man have his say. He earned it with many years in the breach.

Chief, go back to battle if you want to be a glory bound patriot, and not in the Navy unless your boots are on the ground...

You really are not that ignorant in reality Todd Eastman, are you?
Explain why your opinion matters more than some stinking stateside hippy, if indeed you were not on the ground in Afghanistan...
... wasn't the Navy the safe spot throughout these foolish ventures?

Well, you flew in and left, that is not the same as living there day in and out. We all chose out paths, you have simply done that, now get over it.

Did you actually read the ref I cited before you posted?
Yea, I read it. It described a unit detailed to do a job. If you were part of it, good, it was your job, nothing more, nothing less. Did you spend time in the advance bases for months on end? If you did, fine; if not, were you in peril 24/7?

How about we give that same advise to Bergdahl.
It appears that Bergdahl is not asking for much of anything, perhaps you are reading way too much into this action...
... and have many unresolved issues that should be addressed.

From accounts that are coming out today from the individuals that served directly with Bergdahl "in country", appears that he did just that, deserted his post in time of war.
little chuffer and ron are both true americans, convict the SOB before a trial. also, if you praise allah then surely you must be a terrorist.
ron needs his own TV show, called Rons World, devoid of intellect with the little chuffer popping his head up at predictable intervals. sounds like a hit with the tea party. to add color, philo can make special guest appearances and whine when things dont go his way.

Some points…
“but PTSD is real and it causes people to do crazy things.”
I don’t know about crazy things but my godson and nephew has detached himself from his family (but not his wife and newborn baby girl), my sister-in-law, like a sister to me, thinks he may be suffering from PTSD, he was a point man for much of his two tours with the Marines in Afghanistan, being shot at.
I do not know much about this Bergdahl dude, but John M says it correctly IMO…
“But not a sad day for America because America stood up for what it believes in, which is that a man is innocent until proven guilty.”
And are the five terrorists or enemy combatants?
Time will tell if Obama and his administration did the right or wrong thing. But jumping to conclusions and knee-jerk reactions by some Taco Standers does not help further a logical and rational debate.
“Now get Congress to start funding the rehabilitation of the survivors of the decade of useless wars.”
Well put Todd.
