YEAH, and if it had been YOUR RELATIVE you would be rejoicing.

So I guess you are saying he should have stayed captive.
Because of these 5 frightful characters.

Get a life.

The Tyrant Obama released 5 terrorists in an exchange
as a prelude to freeing the blind Sheik (the reasons
for Benghazi in addition to xfering MANPADS).

The EXEMPT US Congress delirious on ambien, booze,
brothels, while stealing and lying,
CONTINUE TO DO NOTHING!!

Why don’t we find out from the horses mouth. I am sure his story will all come out soon enough. INSTEAD of listening to stories from the media that you loath.

The only American soldier held prisoner in Afghanistan has been freed by the Taliban in exchange for the release of five Afghan detainees from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay

They can reuse their GITMO mugshots for their NYC TLC licenses. DeBlasio will throw a party for these terrorists once they arrive.

On the bright side, in 6 or 8 months he’ll get a check up from the VA.
