"Pentagon knew Bergdahl’s whereabouts but didn’t risk rescue for ‘deserter’" -- Pissing away that old "Mandate of Heaven" thing.

Am I the only one who believes that the guy who deserts in the face of the enemy gets what he deserves? I mean, if this guy didn't commit a shooting offense, we need to apologize to the ghost of Eddie Slovik.

“They’re really underestimating the fury over this,” Wellman said. “It’s a tidal wave of anger.”

And: The Bergdahl Dishonor
I spoke Monday with a highly decorated former Special Forces operator and asked what he thought about Bowe Bergdahl, the Army sergeant who was released over the weekend after five years of Taliban captivity in exchange for five hard cases out of Gitmo. The former operator suggested a firing squad might be appropriate. His view is widely shared in the community of warriors who risked—and, in at least six cases, lost—their lives searching for a soldier who wrote his parents that "the horror that is america is disgusting" before vanishing from his post in Afghanistan in 2009.

“I say we welcome him home with a firing squad.,” one says. “He’s a piece of trash and everyone from [Fort Richardson] knows it the only person less American than that man is the president for giving up 5 hvt’s [High-Value Targets]”
MBV: You know, this may be the worst self-inflicted blow to the regime's "Mandate of Heaven" as perceived by the military yet. For an administration that considered using the military against the Bundys, they might want to ask themselves which way the rifles -- or the drones -- will be pointed when push comes to shove.

From all that I have read on the issue, it appears the sycophants surrounding Obama, wanted to feed his narcissism with a major coup. They felt Obama would receive the accolades that Reagan received on January 20, 1981, with the release of the Iranian hostages. This was a gross misjudgement, that always happens in a closed society, like exists in the current White House. The outrage over the Sgt. Bergdahl scandal is even bigger than the media is portraying. Like other patriots, I am awaiting the watered down, spineless response from the Republicans. If the "Lawless One" gets away with this, lock and load and bolt the doors.

This particular piece of psyop/agitprop appears to be designed to kick the .mil in the gut hard. I have to say they appear to be ratcheting up the noise level so that "some crazed veteran" will step over the line. Between this and babyfacegrenade squad it seems someone has said, OK we gotta make a move here. The Benghazi crap is closing in, the veteran thing is closing in, the economy is closing in......well you get the picture. Dear Vets: This is a psyop designed by communist filth to get you to snap. They are doing all they can and it's not working. Dear Communists: You are failing and fuck you.

As one who has always felt our intrusion into the Middle East was ill-advised (the kindest description I have for it), I'm forced to ask:

How much of an "enemy" are they if they didn't even rate a declaration of war?

If you get inside these morons' heads, you can see why they vomit things like this from time to time. Remember when Kerry ran for Prez? He lied his ass off to Congress when a lieutenant about GI's committing war crimes, sided with the anti war bunch, but come time to run for Prez, OMG, I WENT TO VIETNAM, PEOPLE, I'M A TRUMPED UP WAR HERO/GIGILO/FRENCH SPEAKING ASSWIPE WHO KNOWS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU. Bergdahl may be no Benedict Arnold, but since he and his family, especially the bearded dad, side more with the Taliban than their own country, that witch who advises Obongo about everything fell in love with him at first blush. What's not to like? A deserting turncoat, slept with the Taliban, anti American shit, all he has to do now is throw his hat in the ring for Boxers job.

Bergdahl is getting promoted to Staff Sergeant next month. Who knew the Taliban NCOES counts as promotion points?

You know, for an administration that likes to tell me how much smarter they are than I, they do some amazingly stupid things. If one were to think about it, you might draw the conclusion that no one is that stupid and hence they are screwing up on purpose.

Obama is just "paying it forward" because some day his taliban brothers may have to come and try to rescue his treasonous ass.
