Clearly a Deserter wanting to go native who ran into jihad on the ground beyond his limited imagination.
I posted this on another thread; fits here too:
I have a bit of a different slant on this issue, and Ill bet Im not too far off the mark. I think the son, Bowe, who may have initially switched to Islam to save his neck, so to speak, jumped in with both feet and became a true believer. I bet he was in on teaching his new fellow Muzzies how to make bombs and was slamming the U.S. twice as much as his newfound buddies, while growing his beard out. I think he saw himself as one of them, now trusted by them and a fellow Jihad travellor.
However, what Bowe didnt bargain for was that his fellow Islamists were getting ready to throw him under the bus in order to liberate 5 real Afghan Taliban, being held at Gitmo as prisoners. What Bowe didnt bargain on, was that the Taliban would want 5 real Jihadists back in their fold, especially ones that were probably the brains behind many an attack on Westerners, preferably on U.S. ones. And the Taliban was more than happy to trade in one faux Jihadist for 5 real ones. That hadnt entered into Bowes equation.
Now Bowe has been traded in for the 5 Gitmo Jihadists, and Im sure he is exceedingly bewildered and feeling very betrayed. He thought he was one of them, a fellow Jihadist. Now he has been jilted and sent back to what he now considers the enemy, thats us. And could end up in the klink back in the good old USA for desertion to boot. What a culture shock.
Hence he doesnt want to speak the enemys language, thats English. So Pops (I cant say a chip off the old block as Pops IS the old block) who seems to have mimicked his sons Islamist propensities, speaks to his son who wont speak English, in Arabic. How jolly, how easily Pops and son will be able to communicate with one another when Bowe gets home. Poor young Bowe, hes got to be one big psychological mess right now; hes neither fish nor fowl, just a lonely Jihadist without a country. The fun begins.
The whole messy abortion flunks the smell test, including the role of the puke's parents.
Obama or Bergdahl?
