Indeed, How Dare We Leave Andrew Tahmooressi Behind?
Investor's Business Daily ^ | October3, 2014 | IBD EDITORIALS

Veteran Neglect: A Navy and Marine Corps veteran asks a House panel why an administration that says it leaves no one behind has let a soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder sit in a Mexican jail for six months.

From the famous "latte salute" to the Marine holding the presidential umbrella, President Obama's respect for our men in uniform has been open to question. Unless, of course, they desert their post in Afghanistan to try to join the Taliban, like Bowe Bergdahl. Then you have the parents to the White House and trade the Taliban general staff to obtain their release. After all, we leave no one behind.

Except, maybe, for Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi.

This administration disgusts me. They are the dregs of society and need to be fired and/or voted out of office. Our military (except for deserters) is exceptional and should be treated as such. Bring out Marine HOME!

BOR seemed to imply there was more to this case last night.

Like he might have broken other laws that we are not aware of.

If not, this is awful. Especially in light of the Bergdal exchange.

BOR is a moron. I met the guy at a book signing once. He has all the warmth and charm of an amoeba. He saves the charm for the camera.

why an administration that says it leaves no one behind has let a soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder sit in a Mexican jail for six months.

Because the administration has declared war on the United states.

We have the midterms coming up in 4 weeks. Anybody focusing on that? Anybody want Democrats still controlling the Senate? We need Republicans controlling both the house and Senate then they will have absolutely no excuse for not impeaching this bastard.

I don’t doubt it. I got the feeling BOR/Ted Baxter could hardly force himself to fleetingly acknowledge me while scribbling his name in my book. The book was so boring I never finished the last half.

Yeah, I can’t stand the arrogant self-satisfied doofus. If I turn on Fox and he’s on, it’s off to Discovery or Syfy.
