A soldier who walked away from the Vietnam conflict may not have been a hero but he would have been right about the "war."

It doesn't matter to me what this guy did.

Israel does this routinely and often frees dozens or even hundreds of jailed Palestinians to obtain the release of one captive Israeli soldier and nobody calls Israel soft on terrorism.

The Real Story Of Why Bowe Bergdahl Went Missing - http://huff.to/1l2CXzF

Still a bunch of right wing slander but its not looking good for this soldier's reputation. If it's true that 2 soldiers in his platoon were killed looking for him after his desertion, yikes.

Having never been in the military so the constant threat of life and limb under hostile fire never was mine. So will let those who served be the ones to decide this issue once all the facts are exposed.

But as a child who came of age during the Vietnam war with a lottery number of three at eighteen. Who never got the letter, glad of it. Felt I'd go even though protested detested the war. More because of my parents being both Navy Vets then out of patriotism, because I was not proud of the US at the time. Will never know for sure now.

If the guy is guilty of anything the military will take care of it. Everyone is forgetting that he is still on active duty and will face charges if he did indeed desert.

Time to prevent a mass murder & search this Lefty's house for anything that even resembles a weapon. All the screaming about the mentally ill disappears when it comes to radical Muslims - http://www.bizpacreview.com/2014/06/...er-swap-122571
