The “prisoner” was Jewish, the captors were muslim, and someone wants me to believe they celebrated Christmas and Easter together? What was on the menu, a ham dinner?

This little piggy just flew over the moon.

Bergdahl, the only US soldier detained in Afghanistan since war began in 2001

Neatly skirting the fact that all others captured by the muslim hardliners over the past 10 or 12 years were promptly executed.

The news media will shift into overdrive to cover up this one.

I think the whack-job father had tenticles into the radical Muslim world while this soldier was in Afghanistan. His bizarre comments yesterday suggested he had pals in the CIA, the FBI, the White House, the Mossad, the PLO and the IRA! He was one well-connected UPS driver!

But seriously, one of his emails to his son told him to “follow his conscience.” I think shortly after this, his son deserted. I think the father is the key in this story. Just my opinion.

I think you are right, and that creepy beard is suspect in my opinion.

And for the first time in american history, we have a supposed american citizen standing next to the POtuS, in the freaking rose garden, on TV saying in arabic ( or whatever) Allah be praised.

Elvis has left the building….

Not the way we played it. We did full-tackle.

All that badminton and tea would crush the spirit of the most hardened deserter. How horrendous!

Any sport where you play with a beer in one hand is awesome.

Thats the way I learned it

Should the Obama Joke-ministration fail to take care of this “soldier”, I trust that his fellow soldiers will do what is required.

We promise to look the other way.

This man was allied with the Muslims...and deserves his upcoming fate.

he was Jewish?
wow

where did you read that?
The bio on Wapo IIRC said he was raised a ‘ Calvinist”

if he was aren’t you surprised the Talivan kept him alive?

Badminton and Christmas? Does this sound just a leetle bit bizarre to anybody else but me? A bunch of 7th Century barbaric muslims playing badminton and celebrating Christmas with a Christian. I don’t think so.

You need the foil lined Depends. No one will know you're wearing them.

Jewish? He and his family attended a Presbyterian church (possibly a somewhat flaky one) in Idaho. He was homeschooled and the family seems to have had its own strange opinions - most of which involved being anti-American.

It is unless the army does it, then it turns into full contact, bloodsport.

exactly.

And he “forgot” all his English in a mere 5 years, per his father.

This thing stinks very badly, has this country become this gullible?
