The juxtaposition of two American military men who could stand in the same courtroom in the coming months couldn't be set in more stark relief.
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl faces a general court-martial for walking off of his base in eastern Afghanistan in 2009. Bergdahl spent five years in Taliban captivity, where he was tormented, before being freed in a controversial prisoner exchange last year.
Jimmy Hatch, a Navy SEAL senior chief who led a platoon into a fierce battle to try to rescue Bergdahl, was shot and badly wounded on that mission. Beside him, service dog Remco lay mortally wounded, after running through a hail of bullets at two Taliban fighters hiding in a ditch, exposing their whereabouts.

Did the word “jag” derive from “jag-off”?
:-)
Gen. Creighton Abrams is Gen. Robert Abrams father.
Interesting... Here's a year-old WND article suggesting the Army's real mission was shoot to kill.
You know, I think many of us understand the hate that the actions of this president and his administration raise up inside of us. I fight against that almost every day. It is the ploy of our Enemy to make us hate so that we take action or say things that betray the good in us, especially we Christians. The Enemy wants to make us contradict the love of God that resides within those of us who are called by His Name.
Just remember that nothing escapes God’s notice and ALL injustice will be made right one day. For us who are believers, the object is to deny Satan his joy in causing us to act out of character. Therefore it is one thing to vent one;s frustration at the Enemy and his minions, and another to act on them. Sometimes it is important to just vent. It is important for the rest of us to empathize, but encourage righteous behavior so we do not fall into Satan’s hands. I have wanted to call this president, Clinton (both of them), Kerry, and ALL the liberates who serve under this guy whom we all know to be a traitor, such names as I could not publicly speak. All the more reason to be gracious and pray that God remove him and ALL of them.
I hear your frustration and the desire to act. How easy it would be to do something stupid. Praying that we all are able to hold on, pray through, and look forward to the end of this nightmare. God bless you...all of you,...us.
that was beautiful.
ah, i’m 47. Not nearly as brash as even 15 years ago.
I’ll hit the heavy bag a little.
and say some prayers.
I would NEVER do anything crazy. Don’t worry :)
Just motivates me to take the WH back in ‘16.
Same Jimmy Hatch now aiding Gabby Giffords in her anti-2nd Amendment efforts?
I have officially named it LZ Bergdahl.
It’s right next to LZ Obama.
I love it. Thank you.
The Marines are often mentioned by people who are attempting to add some sort of cache to their resume. When I’ve encountered these types I’ve always invited them to check their drawers for nads reminding them that they’re unlikely to find any.....
Elsewise they would have actually earned wearing the Globe and Anchor rather than trying to steal the honor that accomplishment begets by mentioning that “they once thought about joining the Corps.”
That’s why ole Storm Trooper Lindsey Graham, that fighting machine, was such a joke....
Excellent Point...
Perfect Example of your point: ADM Kirby, new spokes liar for the State Dept
Thank you.
But I also like the idea of hanging him from a tall oak tree and leave him for the buzzards.
