The problem with making a stink about these hostages is that it will only encourage other idiots. A camping trip to Afghanistan while seven months pregnant is the height of lunacy. It’s like visiting North Korea; who in their right mind does it ?
I’m going to go out on a limb here:
1) Don’t go to a Muslim country
2) Don’t go to a Muslim country that’s been at war with the U.S.
3) Don’t go halfway around the world to a hellhole when you’re pregnant
Like, Im’a take my pregnant American wife camping in Afghanistan
Said. No. Sane. Person. Ever.
I assume his Tolleybon beard is from before they departed
Give ‘em the Sergeant Bergdahl Medal.

Jesse Pinkman !?!
So did they get clubbed? Seems like an unusual hobby to seek out a clubbing, but to each his own...
Well, that’s one way to lose weight.
Too bad for the children they have such morons for parents.
A self absorbed intellectual libtard.
Did they make s’mores?

not only idiots, but do they really really look like two people that hiked?.....both carrying a lot of extra weight....
Any questions?
They look like they absorbed a lot of themselves.............
They have baby seals in Iran?...................
Why not just take at trip to Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis or some where in Minnesota?
Coincidence or irony, all Liberal controlled.
