No kidding! They had two choices; land at that Chinese airfield or crash into the sea.
we got back the entire crew and we got back the aircraft too (albeit in pieces)
we lost intelligence equipment on the (unarmed) P-3- which the Chinese probably could have fished out of the wreckage if the aircraft ditched
worth all those lives and the aircraft?
not
but some troll wants to equate Bergdahls actions to that of this P3 crew and obama to Bush recognizing the heroism and judgement of the P3 crew and how they conducted themselves in captivity??
