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.

I’m with you on this one. The left has an agenda for Afghanistan. It is still a Muslim country and is not going to accept that agenda. Could that be what he is talking about? Are we trying to force western values, and even worse, left wing western values on the Afghans? Could that be what the cause of his “shame?” I think the facts are too slim to judge.
