How so?

I mean, the possibilities are endless. The average American has a much better understanding of our nations weak points, security-wise, than a foreigner does. Just the other day a buddy and I were talking about all the different ways to sneak stuff past TSA. Someone like him who they can bounce ideas off of and include in the planning process would be a huge asset to them.

Hmm... I see what you're saying, but at the end of the day he was just a 23 yr old barista from Idaho who is also a bit of a weirdo.
I don't see him being any more help than the thousands of Afghans/Pakis who live here.

However If it was me who was a prisoner, you'd better get my ass out of there ASAP, because a week without bacon and beer, you better believe I'll start singing! They'll be calling me Pardus "Canary" Mohammed :-o

AQAP and Al Shabab are full of those types but Gadahn is in the inner circle.

Yeah, there's no way this guy goes through what he's being subjected to in the hands of the HQN and comes back in one piece mentally. Add to it the fact that he was apparently a bit off his rocker to begin with, and we probably have a basket case.

I have zero sympathy for Bergdahl, but if he's going to be rotting in a prison somewhere, I want it to be an American prison.

Or at least an American-run prison.

Newsflash bro, we already call you that.
 
I took so much crap in the Marine Parents group I am in, because they are all posting "Bring Bergdahl Home" memes and I chimed in "yeah and throw his ass in Leavenworth". Amazingly, there are a lot of Marine Parents in the group that want to give peace and Bergdahl a chance. So I asked "would you be so touchy-feely if our sons are the ones chosen to go and bring him home"? :rolleyes:
Making friends and influencing people. It is what I do. ;-)
 
He's a barista? Or was? If they turned him and he could bring down Starbucks....now shit gets real. If you destroy Starbucks, you destroy America.

Prologue
"There I was...deep in the shit, having just communicated to my mother and father how disgusted I was about our not taking it to the enemy, I took it upon myself to do so. My plan? To earn their trust and the kill them one-by one...from the inside. They would be suspicious if I arrived with weapons in hand, so I left my gear, back in the rear, and showed no fear. Suddenly I found myself outside wire. Alone, but not afraid ... when it became clear to me, that the end to this campaign rested on my shoulders alone. Thinking back to my "Call of Duty" days, I thought I knew what I was in for, what I was not prepared for however...is that my government would disavow me and turn me into a traitor."
 
I bet he was second guessing his decision to desert the moment the first Afghan raped him...
 
Not going to respond to each post, but his side has nothing to offer us we haven't already bought many times over. I hope he makes it home alive and faces proper punishment as it would set an example for any other jackass who thinks its okay to walk out of a commitment to not only his country but the men he served alongside with.

At the end of the day, he was stupid and decided his path, he will be lucky not to die from AID's from the ass rapings he has surly been enduring for the last 4 years.

Karma is a bitch.....
 
Here's my thing, he chose to go on walkabout for whatever reason. He didn't just get picked up. We have him listed as a POW, have promoted him. Why didn't they make him a PV1 and designated as a deserter? You know, we used to shoot deserters, we should again.

Publically saying he desrted would have opened a political can of worms, and the military is afraid of it's shadow (and guns, guns are scary)

They have to convict him first would be my guess.
