The key word here is comrade. Bergdahl ceased to be a comrade when he deserted.
0bama was notified immediately and automatically when the Benghazi consulate triggered the "Imminent Danger Notification System" alert. He did nothing.

There are three scandals here...
---------------------------------------------------------
Denial of requests for security were a dereliction of duty. The lies and misdirection about the "video" after the attack were fraud and malfeasance under the color of authority. The inaction during the attack was something more than that.
The failure to act during the attack is the direct equivalent of desertion IMO.
ONE man had the authority to act that night.
ONE man deserted his post!
EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators were denied request for help during Benghazi attack, sources say
0bama abandoned his post.
He left 41 people to die.
0bama Is A Deserter!
“Never leave a traitor behind!”
six sentences in, to raise the race card, and 4 of the 6 were a quote.
must be some kind of record.
I hope to Heaven we never, ever, ever elect a black president again.
Sorry, under obama the “New Army” slogan is;
“Never leave your buddy’s behind.”
Nice Try,A$$H*LE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You captured the crux of the matter.
Wow, we need that BS Meter really bad here - I think it is past the maximum.
The author raises the 14th Amendment issue although when you enlist, you are now under the Uniform Code of Military Justice -
Let’s be frank, here. Imagine the enemy saying, “I understand your motto is ‘leave no man behind’?” Well, we’ll give you the prisoner if you release 1,000 of our men from your prison.
Do we mindlessly say, “OK”?
If this was a captured general, I could see us doing the five for one swap. If he was one of the better generals, anyway. But a desrter? We should have offered to give them one of their guys if they gave us Bergdahl plus $500.
Obama left him behind for 5 years.
let me make it simply for the author to understand
if the guy start shooting follow Americans, killed several, ran off the base. Its not a case of not liking the person. The person was no longer a comrade when he left
Do you still believe trading 5 enemy leaders for him is worth the trade
Will the author risk Americans lives to “save” Benedict Arnold under the guise of “leaving noone behind”
Negotiating with terrorist is very short sighted, even if he was a hero. You traded one American life for hundreds
This article is based on a logical fallacy because no one is saying we should have left a man behind.
We are saying we shouldn’t have traded five terrorist generals for him.
This article is propaganda, pure and simple.
Total, unadulterated Bravo Sierra.
We left a whole lot of Americans behind at Bataan.
We left a whole lot of MIAs behind in Veitnam...and some of them, particularly those that the North Vietnamese had given to Russia, we had a very good idea of where they were.
It is incredulous the way these people try and spin their words...and try and somehow take a false high ground when they themselves for years...for decades...have besmirched the ground our military walks on.
This war is not over. We still have people on the battlefield, as do the enemy. This enemy has not surrendered to us and has no intent of doing so. We have leaders who have no intention of doing what is necessary to win...they are only interested in getting the hell out...at whatever cost.
And this foolish, misbegotten, cowardly travesty of a trade proves it.
The President emboldens our enemies through such actions...and we know it, and they know it.
No amount of high browed talk will change that.
This trade of five bloodthirsty and dangerous terrorist leaders for a clear deserter, is a mockery of America and its military. It is a mockery of everything our true patriotic soldiers have fought, bled, and died for.
None of their high browed words will change that either.
How many US soldiers were wounded died to capture these five terrorist leaders and put them away? Obama and these liberals are making a mockery of their sacrifice.
American soldiers died and were wounded looking for this deserter. Obama and these liberals are making a mockery of their sacrifice.
Over 2,000 Americans have died and tens of thousands injured in pushing out enemy, the Taliban, to the borders of Afghanistan, to the hinterlands, and into Pakistan. Obama and these liberals are making a mockery of their sacrifice.
People who make these arguments are disingenuous at best...and are knowingly complicit with the mockery of the US military at worst.
But the outrage felt across this nation...when these fools thought they would be high-fiving...speaks for itself. And they know it.
Yawn. Typical liberal garbage.
Bergdahl wasn’t left behind. Bergdahl left and joined the Taliban. Big difference between him and a POW. And either he changed his mind and didn’t like playing Taliban or he used himself to get 5 of the enemy released or both.
> I hope to Heaven we never, ever, ever elect a black president again.
Oh that’s mighty white of you. I guess you wouldn’t want Allen West as president? What in God’s name is wrong with you? You think the problem with 0bama is that he’s black?
What other American President ever released five enemy from captivity while our Military was still in harms way? I do not recall any five for one swaps high ranking enemy prisoners for one PFC defector. Oh and fyi I don’t Hate Obama because of his skin color— I Hate him because he is an Enemy foreign or domesticated.
