It is a f-ed up deal,but we will get info from him. One of the main reasons we made the trade.
He will be debriefed, but we certainly didn't trade 5 high level guys, some of which helped facilitate 9/11, and before captivity were actively planning another attack on Americans, so we could debrief some kid from Idaho...

Mission accomplished. Dad needs to be brought up on treason charges and face the same firing squad as his little treasonist bitch of son.

Yeah, I am just going to try and trust that there is some sort of behind the scenes logic for this whole deal because on the face of it it is super fricked.

Well everything that Obama has done has been full of logic and reason.

He won't be tried for his crimes against the US. High ranking officials in the defense department have said even if he deserted he's "suffered enough"
I have no faith left in the mainstream media given this clown is being treated as a hero

I'm just waiting for Obama to say, "If I had a son...."

Whats that? The VA is fricked? Lets stop talking about that, instead how about we free this "POW" after 5 flipping years and all debate that.

The actual story of his "capture" has been seldom reported. There was talk from guys in the unit (that the Rolling Stone article touched on), but a few issues were at hand:
1. Most of the guys were still in the service when the initial reporting was going on.
2. They were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements regarding this incident (that, in and of itself, is weird as hell to me...I just had to sign a general one at the end of my service). Now that many are out of the service, they simply don't GAF and want the truth to be heard, especially with the press this is getting.
3. They were telling their story to a degree, but no one was really listening or reporting.
You must remember - this was summer 2009 when this happened, and the Afghan surge was all out at that point. I suspect the brass and administration tried to filter the info to keep public support for the mission high and to keep the Taliban from claiming some sort of victory.

Its now but I am sure that was just a typo. If I ran the Taliban I would tell everyone our new goal was to capture American troops since America has shown they will negotiate. THANKS OBAMA!

Nah, man - not an LSU alum (went somewhere in the Midwest), and I am an Iraq vet, not Afghan. I know some folks who were in 1/501, but I was not part of that unit. My old unit went to Afghan a little while after I had finished active duty.

I wonder if people have always been this partisan and stupid with every piece of information or if this is just a byproduct of infotainment.

Anyone that agrees with everything one of the two parties says is a fricking loser!

Left his post in Afghanistan and got 'captured'. Said something about hating being American. 6 guys were killed while searching for him while he was captured by Taliban. War effort came to a halt as assets were diverted to the search. Father tweeted this AM about needing to free the rest of the Terrorists at Guantanimo. Obama needed a distraction from Benghazi, Obamacare, VA fiascos. Trading 5 Ranking Talibans for Bergdahl was the way to get it. Now it's backfired too.
