This statement from bammy’s administration makes no sense and is illogical on its face. If five significant players will have no impact, why do we bother with drone strikes, often for just one guy, knowing they may cause civilian casualties? And if these five aren’t significant players, why did we hold them for years? This is BS,pure unadulterated BS.
If they will have no substantial impact, why did we capture and hold them in the first place? My bet is those five will be extremely valuable to those who would fight against us.
Next time our troops need to do what was done in NAM. If someone was caught and later released then caught a second time, they were never seen again. there would be no third time.
