If the President didn't get him back no one would bat an eye, considering 75% of the country had no idea who the deserter was. The other reason people are pissed is that we sent back 5 intelligent man after further radicalizing them for one soldier that walked off a base. Congress was not notified due to deteriorating health conditions but now he has been given an acceptable bill of health (courtesy of diane feinstein) and the story has changed to his life was in danger (seriously after 5 years of being there?). The president was in a catch 22 on this one. Either be the guy that left a deserter with the enemy (and thus leave someone behind), or try to turn it into a photo op until the entire country doesn't buy any of the shit he is selling and now he has to own it.How is this swap a scandal? The government is proud of its drone program, so what value are those five Gitmo detainees when somebody is planning a "surgical strike?" If el Presidente didn't get that soldier back, wouldn't we be complaining about how we value our Gitmo detainees more than one American? (regardless of whether he went AWOL)
The government negotiates with terrorists all the time, how else would you describe Congressional inaction and the Tea Party caucus?
Bergdahl will never be tried and will disappear from the public. He'll be pardoned if he is, cause OMG it must have been bad for the passed 5 years he can't take anything else!
Either way, I don't care.
