Uh huh....right.

Poor guy’s probably being knocked around right now, need to come up with scars, bruises, or hell anything. That’s why he’s been in hiding so long.

I’m sure that to avoid a trial for desertion he will come up with quite a few cool stories.

[cherry]

yeah...right....abused....sure....lets throw a parade....

[Pearls Before Swine]

Well, it’s possible he was deluded enough to desert, but they treated him like crap anyway, rather than accept him with open arms. Life’s full of surprises.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Trial balloon.

Everything a focus group shows that MIGHT create sympathy for this deserter will be trotted out and tried. Eventually they'll find something that will convince the gullible and uninformed... CNN will be ready to carry that water. This is an early attempt.

Remember the ‘movie trailer’ lie? Obama's people thought that lie would work for the Benghazi slaughter. Or the ‘spontaneous protest’? Or the ‘you can keep your doctor’? Whatever half truth that works... or doesn't.

This is the same.

Most of us already assumed the deserter wasn't staying at the Ritz. And yes, we know he tried to escape. And so what? Does that justify Obama handing over 5 Generals in the war against Radical Islam? No, it doesn't.
