My post mentioned nothing about what he’s done since he was picked up.

He was not left behind and captured in a firefight.

He walked away from his FOB and was picked up.

I’m sure right now he would rather be eating cheeseburgers and fries with his homeboys but his situation was caused by his actions.

As to what he’s been doing in the past three years - there are some propaganda clips of him helping the TB with some explosive training. For that he should not be charged with - as you noted. He also did escape for a few days but was recaptured.

I really don't know the facts of exactly how and why he was captured. Maybe he had an Afghan girlfriend and was caught while meeting with her. Do we really know that he was deserting? Maybe he just had some sort of mental breakdown caused by the loss of friends.

My point is that we should not draw conclusions until we get the facts. After the Treyvon Martin shooting, many posters claimed that Zimmerman was guilty of gunning down an unarmed teenager. They bought into the MSM racist stampede.

I will give the benefit of the doubt to someone who volunteered to serve putting his life on the line in defense of this country in a combat zone and being held as a prisoner for three years.

Some of the things I would miss if I were held by the goat fornicators in the desert:

Freedom
Love
Air conditioning
Central heat (in the winter)
Ice cream
Fresh cut french fries
Fried chicken
Deviled Eggs
Mayonnaise
Peanut Butter and peach jelly sandwiches on homemade bread
Forks and spoons and napkins
A soft bed with crisp cotton sheets
A straight, clean man who uses deodorant and shaving cream
Vaginal sex
Central vacumning
Air conditioning
A car with air conditioning
Showering with hot and cold water
Soap
Toilet paper
Restaurants
Music
My dogs
My girlfriends
Air conditioning

I will bet he is now missing America and all things American.

Let him stay there.
