Not all POWs and MIAs are created equally. For example, there were 21 American prisoners who refused repatriation at the end of the Korean War, and after the POW return at the end of the Vietnam War, we knew Robert Garwood had gone north and collaborated with the enemy, dating back to the early days of his captivity with the Viet Cong.
Needless to say, the U.S. government didn’t expend a lot of time and effort trying to convince the 21 turncoats from Korea to come home, and Garwood was returned only after he passed a note to a Finnish businessman in Hanoi, and claimed to have knowledge of American POWs who were still being held captive in North Vietnam. The faint hope that Garwood was telling the truth is the only thing that prompted the U.S. government to bring him home; most of the traitors from Korea eventually came home on their own, after tiring of life in the “worker’s paradise.”
Bergdahl belongs in the same category. It would have been quite appropriate to let him rot with the Taliban, except Hobama needed something to get the VA scandal off the front page, and start the process of closing Guantanamo.
We have no obligation to ensure the safe return of turncoats, traitors and collaborators.
Do you think I don’t know that?
John Brennan probably has him on a steady diet of fear...
The scumbags at NYT along with its rodent accused Palin of being responsible for the Tucson massacre.
GFY, NYT.
IMO, Brennan is the only one left on the national security team with an IQ above room temperature now that the other Bush holdovers and Clinton retreads are gone, and Brennan shows every sign of being dedicated to Barry’s project to undermine the US Constitution, not defend it!
But the critics seeking political advantage dont care about the life or mental state of a particular soldier, or of a principle of loyalty that should provide comfort to any soldier in danger of capture. They live only for the attack.
The Leftards had giggle fit sh!ts in 2008 laughing at John McCain's Vietnam war injuries (broken arms) from WAR CRIME torture by North Vietnamese Communists.
How many other observant Christians study deep into cultist rhetoric when they try to recapture/deprogram their children?
