Anyone on the left yelling traitor or treason at little o? No? Didn’t think you’d have a spine either.

And let’s not forget that Obama did try to move the Gitmo group to stateside prisons but who stopped that…not “lefty-nut jobs”

You guys had a nice argument going on there; however, there is a missing fact, if you sign up for the military and don’t realize that you could be sent to war, you are an idiot. T

That deserter had his escapade planed from the day he signed up.

We have quite a few misconceptions going around here.First: Let’s address the courts thing, because that is the low-hanging fruit. The reason we do not permit terrorists to have an open day in civilian court is because intel obtained through coercion cannot be used there, where it can in a military tribunal. They also were not Mirandized in the field of battle. You don’t slap cuffs on someone and read them their Miranda rights when you are getting shot at, mortared, and IED’d. In addition, Miranda rights don’t apply to terrorists.And if we even exclude that, there are national security interests that must be maintained. In a civilian court, there’s no expectation that the information presented there will remain there. In a military tribunal, the people who are hearing the information presented have clearance to hear it. You would know that if you knew one lick about how our national security is conducted.As to the deserter, he was not captured from his post on a FOB. He was not captured while on a convoy that fell under attack. He Left his post. That violates General Order # 5: To quite my post only when properly relieved. By abandoning his post, he not only endangered himself, but his entire unit. That, alone, is worth a court-martial and a dishonorable discharge. This is already factually established; it’s not an allegation.But to make matters worse, he then left to find solace with the Enemy, or desertion and a traitor. You guys like to throw Treason around at the Republicans for doing their job, but you won’t dare utter those words with regards to this blue falcon. Republicans wrote a letter — a letter that is completely within their rights (and Democrats have also done similar in the past) to issue — to reiterate that unless a law is passed, any agreement written by any administration is easily discontinued by a future president. That isn’t treason or traitors, that is factually accurate and relevant. The fact that we lost men searching him out, trying to rescue him from his “captors,” adds insult to injury. You want to talk about wasted lives, that is the very definition. The soldiers who were part of that search and rescue have already confirmed that Bergdahl was not captured; he left and went to them. Whether he was mistreated by them or not is moot; he willingly went to them of his own accord, and is thus a deserter and a traitor.Now on to Obama. The issue he has is that he made this trade without the approval of Congress. I’m not saying a Republican or Democrat Congress. I’m talking CONGRESS. He hides behind the guise of saying it was “no man left behind,” and that he would do whatever he can to ensure the safety of our troops. If he was that committed to our safety, he would stop telegraphing our punches and telling the various factions when we’re pulling out. If he was so focused on ensuring our safety, he would not have yanked our troops out of Iraq like he did. If he was so committed to “No man left behind,” he would have authorized our supersonic fighter jets to go into Benghazi and bomb the positions that were firing mortars at the embassy. No, what he did was a blatant breach of trust. The 5 men he released are going to head back into the mix with their jihadi group and they will work towards bringing terror back to our shores. This is why Congress needs to be involved, so one person doesn’t have the power to take violent prisoners of the state and release them into either our country or the rest of the world. On the very premise, it’s a balance of power thing. Obama, through his actions, has disregarded that separation of powers and set a very dangerous precedent.

“…it just can’t be that.” Not a lefty nut-job, but here’s one thought: "’How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?’ "Sherlock Holmes Quote-The Sign of Four

When your opponent has their ideas, opinions and verbal abuses provided to them by the Ministries of Faulty Information, you will never win with logic, reason, reality or facts.

^So you are talking about those on the left?? Those are the only people that I know that just parrot what they hear. Plus if you want to confuse a liberal, just argue facts.

“As a soldier, you simply need to leave the service or take your complaints up the chain of command.”I wonder how many women have had to leave the service because they tried taking their complaints of sexual assault and/or rape up the chain of command…

Right just like those on the left didn’t try the police officer in Ferguson in the press or Zimmerman in the press. Facts don’t really matter, not as long as you can play off of emotions. POW’s are exchanged after hostilities are done. Bergdahl is a deserter! He wasn’t captured. He willingly walked off!! Just think how much money we could save if we close ALL of our prisons! I love how liberals are all about saving money when it can be twisted to make their point, otherwise it’s tax & spend!!

You do realize that the Senate has to approve any treaty by 2/3 majority, right?? There is nothing traitorous or unconstitutional about what the 47 Republicans did. Even if you wish it! Expressing your opinion is still legal in this country, even for conservatives. Doesn’t just apply to liberal, p/c opinions; again even though you may wish it wasn’t that way! They just posted an open letter reminding Iran & obama about that. Of course that is treasonous to you, but obama signing his own immigration law, just because Congress wouldn’t pass the law he wants isn’t?? I have that right don’t I??

Wise – Please don’t engage logic as many of us have learned it is an utter waste of time and space.
