I'm going to be charitable here, and suggest that this event was hastily arranged in the immediate aftermath of the announcement of Sgt. Bergdahl's release, while the understandable sentiment was joy that one of "our guys" was free.

Now that we know more -- including the terrorists we released (in violation of the Constitution); the circumstances of Bergdahl's separation from his unit (voluntary, it now seems); and the deaths of our soldiers seeking to rescue Bergdahl (who, quite probably, did not want to be rescued) -- I suspect the celebrations will be quietly scuttled.

A long time ago, I’d agree with you, that the farce would be called off.

Now, I’m pretty sure the show will go on, and those who question it will be “gaslighted”...they’ll be told nothing is wrong, and that they are crazy for questioning it.

It’s been that way for a few years now.

This is just to distract from the VA scandal.
