2nd... when i went through boot camp... we had drilled into our noggins the Military Fighting Man Creed or something like that which was basically give your name rank serial number, and to try to escape to your utmost capabilities.....
as i said this is my opinion.... Why didnt the Taliban go ahead and execute him once they realized that he was a small fish.... if he even once tried to escaped they probably would have done it (my thinking) The only way we will probably get the whole story is when the taliban gives that info out..... sure not going get it from the white house

[Jeremiah]Wright, who began the "Ministers in Training" (MIT) program at Trinity United Church of Christ, has been a national leader in promoting theological education and the preparation of seminarians for the African-American church.[23] The church's mission statement is based upon systematized Black liberation theology that started with the works of James Hal Cone.[

What was the motivation to get this guy released now and not maybe a year before Obama leaves office?

Failing health? Didn't seem so from the video today.

I can see Obama at the end of his presidency wanting to tie up loose ends, form a legacy. He got the only US soldier captive on his watch, released.

But now, under such bad terms, without notifying congress, violating the law? It seems to make no sense.

They also could have just quietly did it, especially considering the negative aspects of the soldiers departure. They didn't need to publicize it, not have a White House photo op with the wacko dad. No reason for Susan Rice to get up and lie to everyone again.

Most of the dumb stuff they do seems to have a liberal, left wing, anti freedom, anti constitution, pro communist motive.

Here, there seems to be no upside.

Are they now going to pressure the joint chiefs to not court marshal him? That will come out if they do. Otherwise, he's going to be court marshaled and get a lengthy prison term, that's going to make great press.

What happens when one of the Guantanamo guys pulls off some big terror plot, the bad press from that will be hard to control. What happens when the Taliban starts actively trying to kidnap US soldiers or citizens and gets another one.

I'm just completely dumb founded.

“Why would someone pack all of there [sic] belongings and send them home in the middle of a 12 month deployment? Hmmmm”

On the 2nd night B asked our team leader what would happen of his sensitive equipment went missing

On the 3rd night B asked a fellow platoon mate "if your M9 (9mm Pistol) went missing would you get in trouble?"

“So we now have Pre-Meditated Desertion at this point, yes?”

Our captives were never treated as well as this guy. It just seems very suspicious to me.

He needs to be told that his comrades were killed while looking for him.

I'm suspicious of his father too. Strange strange things afoot. Despite this being the perfect opportunity for Mr. O to close it all down. What made me throw up in my mouth was when the prez. said something to the effect that we don't leave Americans behind, while speaking at the rose garden. Bad speech writer, bad!!
