” I believe the guy was a deserter, and not worthy of the trade made. “
I don’t deny this is possible, although I hate to believe it and hope otherwise.
My desire tonight has been to urge that FR not rush to judgment. I know he has good family. I’ll leave it at that, and say goodnight.
MAY THE TRUTH COME OUT. May God have mercy upon us all. I am very grateful for Bowe’s release, and would like as a final point to say that he was RELEASED today, which would not indicate that he joined the Taliban voluntarily, would it?
Released?
Bowe joined the US Army, apparently found it not to his liking, and “released” himself from duty.
Once he got captured by the local Islamic militants, he probably found out that the guys he was now bunking with weren’t as hunky dory as he’d hoped. I bet he even tried to escape.
Why he is almost alone in surviving captivity at the hands of the Jihadis is a matter of some curiosity. Others who have been taken by them ended up dead, sometimes after being in a propaganda video, sometimes dying horribly while the cameras roll.
Released? That, in itself, raises some troubling questions.
I’m glad he didn’t end up screaming out his life while they cut off his head for the cameras, but what did he do or say that made him different than all those other poor souls, or was he just lucky?
Lots of circumstances, exceptions and coincidences have to be swallowed to avoid smelling something rotten here.
For five years, people who have known him said he is not what the media or Obama are portraying him as. He is possibly a deserter, or a traitor, or a confused free spirit. He wandered off on his own. Why?
