Have you ever heard: "innocent until proved guilty?" I said arrested, not punished.
Also, every Marine that I know of would have fought tooth and nail to find a way back to a friendly unit ASAP if this was just a "mix-up." There is no explanation for the "long walk" across Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. We'll see.

You want him arrested and punished all at the same time. I say we err on the side of caution, and weigh the evidence once we hear all sides.

Fight who and with what weaponry? That's not realistic if he's been stripped of his rifle, etc. He's a sitting duck in that uniform.

Agree........weird case. But he's alive vs a poster boy for beheading. If he BS'd his way to freedom, didn't sign or tape any pro terror propaganda I say he's being smart keeping low profile. If he jumps up an brag's about his method of freedom he endangers the rest of the hostages , furture hostages by making his captors seek revenge on it's current prisoners. Right now he's an intel gold mine. I don't need nooooze on what happened as he's back in US hands and they "will" get the skinny and use it properly.
Just my opinion from the couch a gazillion miles from the event !....Stay safe !
