A lot of Americans will be kidnapped because of this precedent. Now that I think about it, since Bergdhal was anti-American, 0 made the swap. He wouldn’t have done it otherwise. The terrorists will try it a few more times, but be disappointed.
This is open, unconcealed lawlessness. That’s the real danger. When no one holds him to account, the gloves will come completely off.
They’re gonna need “this is nothin’” Dustin Hoffman to fix this script....
Remember this traitor? Robert Garwood.

Garwood is the last American POW to come home from the war—and by far the most controversial. Previously released prisoners depicted him as a traitor who worked with his Vietnamese captors as an interpreter, guard and even the leader of a Vietcong cadre.
“Bobby was definitely a defector,” says ex-POW David Harker, who was with Garwood at the Khe Sanh Valley jungle prison camp and will testify against him at his trial. Harker claims that Garwood was his guard for five and a half years, and Army Sgt. Richard Williams, another POW, was allegedly taunted by Garwood in prison. “I spit on you,” the private reportedly snarled. “All people like you disgust me.”
REMEMBER how the Media fawned over him on his return, making him some sort of “hero”, taking publicity photos of him holding a Bible, even made a Made-for-TV movie about him staring Michael J Fox.
Well, the Marine Corps convicted Garwood of collaboration, reduced him in rank to Private, and dishonorably discharged him. As a result, he forfeited all back pay and any future veteran’s benefits.
Not sure what will happen to Bergdahl after he comes home...

I agree. I also wonder how many deaths, both civilian and military, these five clowns were responsible for in the past.
Now that they’re free, how many will they kill in the future?
True to form, libs are accusing the troops who said he deserted are lying. And using hillary’s line, they are saying what difference does it make if he did desert.
bkmk
I saw some Republican last night saying basically “we’re outraged. this was wrong. we’ll investigate.” arrrrgggggg
