Colleville-sur-Mer, FRANCE (CNN) -- President Barack Obama's national security adviser said Friday that her full-throated praise of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was appropriate given the former Taliban prisoner's willingness to go to war for his country -- despite questions about whether or not he deserted his Army colleagues.
Susan Rice, who on Sunday said Bergdahl served the United States with "honor and distinction," told CNN in an interview that she was speaking about the fact the Idaho native enlisted and went to Afghanistan in the service of his country.
"I realize there has been lots of discussion and controversy around this," Rice said. "But what I was referring to was the fact that this was a young man who volunteered to serve his country in uniform at a time of war. That, in and of itself, is a very honorable thing."(continued)

Saying this man served with distinction is a slap in the face of men who died and those who came back disabled, not to mention those who honored their oaths.
BTW, my spouse who did serve honorably, thinks the Pentagon spokeswoman is a complete muckup. Whoever put her out there yesterday has to be an Obama sycophant.
She needs to stop moving her lips.
She’s not a spokeswoman, she is the NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR to the President of the United States! Also known as the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. She is a senior official in the Executive Office of the President who serves as the chief advisor, stationed in the White House, to the President of the United States on national security issues. This person also participates in the meetings of the National Security Council. The National Security Advisor’s office is located in the West Wing of the White House. She is supported by the National Security Council staff that produces research, briefings, and intelligence for the APNSA to review and present either to the National Security Council or directly to the President. The position used to be filled by intellectual “giants” such as McGeorge Bundy, Henry Kissinger, Judge William P. Clark, Jr., Zbigniew Brzezinski, Brent Scowcroft and Condoleezza Rice. Scared yet?
Well now, idn’t dat Rice.
I take that she is dumb as soup. Noone in this administration is smart.....they are all extreme idealogues. That’s all that matters.
They .need to mandate licensing for open carry.
I agree. Maybe they don’t have to make it worth her while, because she doesn’t realize she’s a tool.

LOVE IT!!! Put that on all of your posts!
Susan Rice is just using Saul Alinsky’s Rule 4 strategy from Rules for Radical of using an adversaries ules and values as a weapon against against Main Stream America
Hell come out as gay and everything will be fine.
Target and General Mills will sponsor the cancelled hometown parade.
Hell jump Ellens couch and be on Dancing with the Stars.
After that hell run for US Senator for Massachusetts and win after tossing his medals over the White House fence.
Keith Ellison will swear him in on a koran.
NSS, So that’s who he was talking about! I thought he meant some spokesnoid like the one from State.

Terrified am I.
What a traitorous, affirmative-action loser...and LIAR.
They’re going to turn this clown into a war hero. Or try.
I don’t think there is money payoff for any of them. It is all about advancement so they can push push push their ideology.
Actually, most of Arnold’s service to the revolution was honorable, heroic and the continental congress treated him very shabbily in light of his sacrifices. That said, the fact that he was a turncoat nullifies any respect for him and he would/should have been hanged if he had been caught.
This POS, nothing about him or what he has done merits anything more than extreme punishment.

I’m sure the Tolley-Bonn found a way to honor it.
Honorable as a jihadi terrorist. She has outed herself as a Jihadi terrorist as well. Of cause.
It is easy to lie when the media allows you to redefine words after you are caught in the lie.
