Just to clarify, Jacobson wasn’t saying Bergdahl was Jewish. I believe he was implying that some people objected to the deal because of reports Bergdahl had converted to Islam. Jacobson was making the odd analogy to someone hypothetically objecting to rescuing HIM because he’s Jewish.
Sorry. I misread his story as being about Bergdahl rather than himself.
Note to self: Have that second cup of coffee before posting in the morning. :=)
