"If I've lost Neuman, I've lost Middle America." That's how we imagine President Obama reacting to being scathed by MAD magazine. The Usual Gang of Idiots tweeted a parody poster yesterday for "Barack Obama's Unfortunate New Movie," titled "Trading Private Bergdahl." The tag line: "They got five Taliban leaders. We got one deserting weasel. The mission is a disaster." Obama is depicted as the lead actor, with the Taliban quintet in supporting roles. The picture is rated "NC" for "No Congressional Approval."

Look who said no to the POW/MIA policy. In fact don't even try to account for them years after the war ended.
John Kerry: The Chameleon Senator (Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs history)
Apparently part of the wish to ignore MIAs was one C. Stewart Forbes, Chief Executive Officer of a company seeking business in VN, and Kerry's cousin.
Bite me WSJ. Kerry is a traitor and Bergdahl a deserter and Obama an asshat....
I salute American military.
Which, of course, comes as no surprise. They do not understand very much about honor or about any part of American culture.
